What to Expect:
🌊witty banter 
🌊relatable meltdowns 
🌊irony of workplace “wellness” programs
🌊laughs and to feel seen when the responsibilities of life are overwhelming 

🫶🏽What worked for me 
I picked this book after having my own small scale break down (just tears, no nuns involved, IYKYK😂) and it was the most perfect read for that moment 🥰Sasha is incredibly relatable and while some of the antics in this book are a little silly, it was the type of fun and comedic relief I desperately needed. Sasha’s journey to self care had me reflecting on what I could actively do for myself. It is a slow burn, so don’t go in expecting romance right away.

🤷🏻‍♀️What didn’t work for me 
Nothing. I loved every minute, bought a physical copy and will probably re-read it before the school year is over. 

I highly highly recommend this for any rom com lover who has ever felt or is currently feeling burned out.
