What She’s Having is a second chance romance involving high school sweethearts who were involuntarily separated. Twenty years later, they find out that the other did not abandon them and a relationship slowly begins to develop between them. This is a serious delve into grief, childhood abuse, domestic violence, mental health, eating disorders, loss and self-worth. 

I thought this was a very affecting, emotional and ultimately kind book, but with a sometimes heavy tone and subject matter. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
