Quick read. Fun but predictable. Sort of hated the main character a bit - but I know that was the point.
3.75 - cute and heartwarming! some of anu’s decisions did stress me out but I think that was the point lol

I'm not sure I would classify this as a romance at all. Just general fiction with a smidgen of romance. I think I have a soft spot for Canadian-related anything (damn you, Schitt's Creek). This felt like an honest exploration of a woman realizing she had no clue who she was (ha, sound familiar?). She left her marriage, her kid, and took some time to figure it out. She was completely imperfect and fucked up... a lot. She went for the wrong guy several times, and it showed. She said shitty things. But in the end, she started showing up for herself and it worked out.
Would I read this again? Nope. Did I enjoy it? Yeah.

I think Sonya Lalli has a knack for writing characters who are at difficult crossroads in their lives. She’s not afraid for them to be flawed nor fall down flat on their faces because they’ll eventually pick themselves up after much soul searching. Grown-Up Pose spoke to me on so many levels and I enjoyed going along on Anu’s journey.
