Wonderfully captivating, I couldn't put this book down and demolished it in 2 sittings. Mhairi's prose had such beautiful flow - it was sharp, witty, emotional, and relatable. But I agree with many others - this is NOT a romance novel. Unless you consider that the main relationship that develops in this novel is the relationship that Georgina grows with herself, but that's a stretch.
This story is full of the 'hurt people hurt people' mantra. While full of laugh-out-loud moments, it is also filled with grief, turmoil, and recounting of past traumas that readers shouldn't go into it lightly. However, I do think that Georgina's experience & growth will resonate with a lot of readers lived experiences.

"No one else is going to fix you. The only person who can fix you, is you. So Coldplay lied."
“Sometimes because the people we wanted to care for us, didn't care for us, we live with a deliberate lack of care for ourselves. A way of getting back at them, through self-neglect.”
