General disclaimer if you’ve read other reviews by me and are noticing a pattern: You’re correct that I don’t really give starred reviews, I feel like a peasant and don’t like leaving them and most often, I will only leave them if I vehemently despised a book. Thus, no stars doesn’t indicate that the book wasn’t worthy of any starred system. It just means I enjoy most books for what they are, & I extract lessons from them all, even if the lesson is that I’m a ho for the smut, recognizing a genre/book/author is not for me, or confronting my own mommy/daddy issues lol. Everyone’s reading experiences are subjective, so I hope my reviews provide enough information to let you know if a book is for you or not. Happy reading! Find me on Instagram: @bookish.millennial

Disclaimer: If Tinx's old tweets/retweets are triggering for you and you still don't forgive her, I respect that. In my humble opinion, I think Tinx has shown immense growth and that therapy has helped her to commit to growing/learning. However, that's just me & you're not required to forgive her or support her -- an apology & changed behavior is great but it does not require you to welcome someone back into your life/headspace.

Anyway, I'm partnered up but I still found many of the reminders and reframing of this book to be helpful. I love the messaging of enjoying and romanticizing your life right now, rather than only feeling accomplished or worthy once you're in a relationship. I think if you're feeling down about the dating pool or yourself, this would be a good, easy read. It reads as talking to your girlfriend over brunch, so I would recommend it as a "beach read" too!
