This is a book about how miserable we are when we are miserable. There were times when I just wanted to shake Maggie (the protagonist) and got so sick of her shit, but then I remembered me in my darkest days too and just sighed. I loved how visceral Really Good, Actually is, in a way that feels true. Some parts got a a little too annoying and went on for too long, but overall I'm really happy to have read this and feel more insightful myself. Cheers to getting through the hard stuff :)

The best book for a really unlikeable narrator. I saw a review that someone gave up because of the main character but it felt oddly comforting to have someone showcased at probably one of their lowest points. I picked it up and dropped it a few times, but stormed through the last 100 pages.

I think this book was written as if it was the main character’s journal. I really thought I would relate to a lot of things throughout the story, but I found that it was drawn out and somewhat redundant. Not my favorite book and didn’t meet my expectations, but it does have some moving messages to it.

So funny and so relatable! Heisey expertly portrays what it feels like to lose oneself in that dark pit at the end of the relationship before finding your way out and learning to be okay again. Although the protagonist, Maggie, is not always likeable she is incredibly human. The only way I can describe the humour is "real." This book had me laughing out loud! Wish I annotated this one for sure since I had so many thoughts while reading :) - Plus the sticky flags would go great with the excellent cover 🫶
