This story follows Penny who is in her late twenties and not quite where she wanted to be. She’s still sleeping with her toxic ex Max and doesn’t have many friends to speak of and a nasty boss who’s always on her back. The slivers of affection she gets from Max lull her into a false sense of connection.
This book was both very hard to read and very relatable. Penny’s low self esteem and struggles with anxiety made me feel for her, wanting her to get out of her situation in both work and her toxic relationship.
I loved feeling seen that life lessons have to be learnt only when self prompted, and when you get there it is so empowering.
This is a must read!
Moderate: Toxic relationship
