You know that feeling you get when you read a book that is so relatable that you know it was written specifically for you?
That was The Burnout for me.
This is about Sasha and Finn, two overworked, overstressed individuals who either need or have been forced to take some time off due to “losing it” at the workplace. They both escape to an old family vacation spot that is filled with quirky, generous characters that you can’t help but love to decompress in their own way.
I absolutely adored the cast of this book. Each with their over the top need to help, generosity, and unique personalities. The two main characters, aside from the burnout symptoms we shared, were exceptionally relatable. The dialog between them was fun and witty. And the message that was imparted upon them by the wise one was on point. While the book may not have removed the 500 emails from my inbox or decreased my ever growing to-do list, it did make me stop, pause and laugh a little. It may not be a quirky coastal retreat, but it did allow me to escape for a moment to reset and recharge. Don’t start this book too late at night, sleep is important, especially if you are Burned-out, and you’re going to want to read this one straight through!

this was cute fluff puff, and overall the story was pretty engaging but PSA: don't read this if you are ACTUALLY burned out (unless you happen to have a healthy bank balance, can quit your job, can afford to go on an extended holiday to the seaside)!! if you're hoping to glean some useful wisdoms this is NOT the one. i actually feel like it's kinda cynical to market this with the title 'the burnout' knowing so many people will relate and pick it up for that reason. seriously WHY does cosy literature aimed at women have to consistently revolve around posh people?! i am over it, and suspect i'm not the only one.
