This new book from Swan Huntley is a lighthearted and fast paced read. The writing style was easy and conversational. I felt like I was reading a journal from multiple point of views.

Stevie Green is 37, newly sober, and trying to understand her identity in love and work for the first time through clear eyes. She moves back to her home town to start a decluttering business where she also find herself caught in the past with old flames and traumas coming to bear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the lighter side, I really enjoy the decluttering work. Especially when her sister joined her and brought a human element to the work that she was doing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the love side, I had trouble understanding why Stevie’s love interest were both so uncontrollably in love with her. But I enjoyed watching her figure out her sexuality and understanding her traumas through sober eyes for the first time.

This book was fun while touching on more serious topics such as sexuality, trauma, and addiction, carefully not making light of it, but not leaving me feeling heavy after the read.
