This was an easy to read YA romance story.
The novel displays the complexities of family dynamics, self discovery, love and relationships. I loved seeing Nikki and Malachai’s relationship grow. The side characters also helped the story.
The novel covers heavy themes so I was hoping for more depth into the plot. Also, I feel like the ending was rushed 🥹
I loved Excuse Me While I ugly Cry so guess I had higher hopes for this one.
I’d still recommend and I can’t wait to get my hand on Confessions of an Alleged good girl .

I LOVED it. Joya Goffney knows how to write the perfect teen romance. She writes about a young woman trying to find her place in the world and how’s she’s trying to escape a tiny texas town with her musical talent. But of course she isn’t doing this alone. She has the help of her baby sister & the boy she loves. I think i loved this book so much because it showed the other side of a parent child relationship. Her dysfunctional relationship with her mother really drew me in and had me hooked. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!
My Week with Him found its strength in its protagonist. Nikki was a clearly drawn character with distinct needs, wants, and struggles. Seeing her make decisions and work and struggle while rooting for her was one of the most compelling things about this book. The way Goffney wrote her scattered thoughts between chapters throughout the book was something I had never seen before and it worked so well.
The other characters were also great, for the most part. Mal, Vae, and Nikki's mom all had a level of depth and were written consistently. Nikki did have a couple of friends who showed up at the very beginning and maybe once the rest of the book that just seemed thrown in to show she Had friends, but that's just a minor quibble.
The main thing I found unsatisfying was the ending, which somehow managed to be both too neatly resolved (Nikki's relationship with her mom) and not resolved enough (everything else). Overall, though, this was a sweetly enjoyable book with important and well-handled ideas. 4/5.
