Lucy is by no means a perfect character - and that’s exactly what I love about her. She’s been written in such a raw, flawed human that you can’t help but relate to her and forgive her for all her shortcomings (because we are all flawed beings) Contrary to most of the other reviews, I feel it ended completely and perfectly. There are minor moments of growth within Lucy and towards the end, her interaction with Danny is so humbling and shows that you don’t become a completely different person overnight. I love how the author perfectly encapsulates that frustrated restlessness of being stuck in place while thinking you’re special, the desire for immediate affection. Very beautifully written. I’ve missed reading contemporary fiction!!!!
