Sweet read

A nice story with such a fun lead character that you can't help put love her life and enjoy her past and how it made her unique.

Cute story. A few things could have been more explored (the book store) b otherwise it was mostly enjoyable.
Penelope was really hard to like. Maybe listening to it on audio gives a different perspective than reading the page, but I was not rooting for her.
She does improve by the end of the book but she was insufferable.

Love it!

I had no idea how it would end but I was pleasantly surprised. I’d give it a 9 out of 10 :)

4.5 stars. This was exactly what I needed to read right now. Family drama around the holidays is so relatable. I found this light and fun—the perfect read before a Thanksgiving gathering with family. I will seek out more from Brooke Abrams in the future.
