A really fun idea, and from my experience a really accurate look at social anxiety. I also thought that the pace was right on target for the plot and content of this novel.

This was a sweet, slow burn and closed door romance, intertwined with a deep focus on mental health that makes you feel connected and invested in the characters. It was also FUNNY! There were so many points where I laughed out loud, facepalmed, or cringed on Everly’s behalf. A fun and lighthearted book to close out your summer reading.

trigger warnings: anxiety and panic attacks, harassment, infidelity, alcohol, emotionally immature parents

No listen this had a really promising premise?? I love a Bachelor franchise spoof and the promise of a main character with anxiety?? Sounds like a dream. But dude this was so fucking bland!!!

Chris was an utter dweeb, what's her face the MC was utterly uninspired. The best friend was more a stick in the mud than helpful or inspiring, and a lot of the times came off as toxic and lowkey a bully.

It felt like the main character was just getting pushed around all over the place by her friends, by her job, by her parents, by Chris, and she just seemed to take it all as a criticism of her anxiety and that her feelings were irrelevant. And there was no resolution on that front. No one was called out for being utterly shitty to her and it was all a "hey don't let your anxiety get the best of you" as if feelings are completely invalid due to diagnosed anxiety and panic disorders. Eugh.

And to top it all off, no smut? bruh. Miss me with that.
