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.

5.0

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 🫶

Why did it get worse as it went on 🥲 I really liked the beginning! But it got sloppy as the pace quickened imo

This book was well written, with some great lines. The main character, for most of the book, is not at all likeable, and i suspect this is intentional, but it made me want to get it over with. The last 70 pages are a bit of a redemption, and overall I did enjoy it. If you want a non-serious self-loathing book about a quarter life crisis, then give it a whirl.
