I like a bit of chick lit every once in a while. A shout out to Ms. Pagan. Thanks for this novel that, I think, accurately reflects on some of the issues facing women, Mothers especially.

This book was an easy read but a great read. I loved the writing style and it’s been a while since there were characters that I cared so much about.

An enjoyable and intimate look at relationships with well crafted and messy characters, that sound so human and relatable.
Kudos to Camille Pagán and her new novel, that shows her talent in developing such a beautiful strong novel.
I'm Fine and Nether Are You is a delightful story I wanted to read in one sitting. It follows Penny dealing with her usual routine at first, until her best friend Jenny is found dead, and everything changes. All the things that initially might seem so perfect and unperfect, reveal themselves in a new and different light, enforcing to face the truth to find a real way of healing.
This book touched my heart in so many ways, Camille is fantastic in describing how these characters falling down, actually found their way to be truly happy.
I received a copy of this book from the author and the publisher to read and review. All opinions are my own.

I’m Fine and Neither Are You is just as its title says. It’s fine. It’s not great, but it’s also not the worst book I’ve ever read. If I had to assign it a color, the color would be beige. Boring, safe and doesn’t stand out in any way. I think my experience with this book shows that I need to pay a little bit less attention to how highly-recommended a book is on the internet as a whole. This book is a best-seller and the composite rating is high, but just because 20k+ people like it doesn’t mean it’s the right fit for me. It’s a short read. You can easily pass time reading it, but I don’t agree with the reviews saying that this book is interesting or deep or life-changing.

3.5 stars, rounded up because I enjoyed the ending. This book was a bit of a struggle in the beginning- it felt very pessimistic to the point of being depressing (and I realize there are heavy themes early in the book, but even prior to/not including that). I think the thing that pushed me on is that I've had many of the thoughts Penny had myself- not all at the same time, but I could relate. The ending really did redeem it, and I enjoyed it, but it was a bit of a slog to find the ray of hope! All in all glad I stuck it out

Not my favorite by this author. I get the moral of the story but the plot seemed to be missing.

This book, you can feel the anxiety and frustration and disappointment that these characters go through because the scenarios are so real and common while talking about them isn’t always so easy. Marriage isn’t easy and this walks through the balancing act between our public and private lives with a cringe and a smile.
