Maggie’s Going Nowhere by Rose Hartley
2.0
Within the first few pages of this book, I was texting my bet friend quotes and saying “this is so us”
We were introduced to Maggie and Jen, best friends since high school with a bond that feels more like family.
But my excitement soon fizzled out over the next few chapters.
Maggie is a terrible friend, like the worst.
Jen is planning her upcoming wedding and Maggie is ruining dresses, complaining and throwing not so subtle jabs at Jens husband to be. She’s rude, abrupt and constantly thinks of herself.
Some may find Maggie likeable and see her as a strong willed and confident character in some ways. But unfortunately I found her lazy, self deprecating and just frustrating. I was never on Maggie’s side while reading this book!
The saviours were Jen and Rueben and we don’t get enough of them! Jen is warm, kind and looks after her best friend regardless of whether Maggie is grateful or not.
Rueben has had a troubled past but doesn’t let it define him. He’s patient and doesn’t pass judgement and seems like such a good person to talk things through with.
I struggled to get through this book when I wasn’t connected to the main character.
I actually found what was was happening when the book ended the most interesting and we don’t see it through!
2 star read for me
