I think this book healed my soul. It was so relatable, heart-warming and I wish I could be friends with everyone in Olive’s friend group. May not be for everyone as it does have some triggering content related to motherhood but to anyone who is currently in that weird part of life where half of your friends have houses and are expecting babies and the other half of your friend’s are still partying in university - you should read this book. Even if you aren’t on the fence about motherhood and next steps in your mid-20’s, this book offers so many perspectives about what creates meaning in life and that there is no right or wrong when it comes down to how you want to live it.
