This was a very enjoyable read! It’s one of those books that explores a characters experience in their early 20’s, from a reflective point in their 30’s and it honestly gave me some perspective on some ways I should be reflecting on the stage of life I am in. Most notably, people in their early 20’s on deal in absolutes (e.g everything is either the absolute best or the world is falling apart). Bit too real 😂

I tandem read this one, listening to the audiobook and reading it physically and honestly recommend both mediums. The book is centred around and Irish FMC, so the audio book has an Irish narrator/accent and it was very enjoyable!
