I really enjoyed this one. A mixture of quit lit (literature about addiction and recovery) and decluttering with delightful queer content to boot.

I feel like this book really could have had the potential to be incredibly interesting. The plot was unique and I liked where it ended up going by the end. However, I never got the chance to become interested in the characters or get invested in what was happening to them. It wasn’t just because the characters were unlikeable, which they were. We just didn’t get enough background on them. A lot the history is hidden from the main character and therefor hidden from the reader. This is a hard plot point to pull off, in my opinion.
I also feel like the author introduced a lot of little plot points that didn’t end up going anywhere or even getting mentioned ever again. This left the book feeling disjointed and not fully fleshed out.
Overall I just hard a hard time diving back into the book once i put it down. It just didn’t suck me in.
Thank you Simon & Schuster Audio for sending me an eArc of this book in return for my honest thoughts and review.

I liked the premise - a mess of a woman starts a decluttering business while trying to sort out her own life. And it was a super quick read.
But between the casual fatphobia, characters nearing their 40s still obsessed with slights from high school, and the disjointed writing…this wasn’t for me.

This one was a letdown. The entire time I just hoping for something more. Overall the story was lackluster and the ending was worth the dull narrative. It was pretty obvious from the get go where the story was headed and what the reveals we’re going to be. Maybe skip this one!
