The Bounce Back by Addie Woolridge

3.0

I kindly received an eARC advance copy of this book to read and review though NetGalley.

Almost all of Neale’s close family members are artists apart from her older sister. Neale is putting on performance art using fire one evening but the audience is not getting her and then her coat catches alight.

She is asked to leave the art Collective and the whole episode is recorded and goes viral. Then her boyfriend breaks up with her and her parents ask her to grow up and leave home.

She finds an office job working at a card company, and meets kind and thoughtful co-worker Anthony, who also happens to have a hot body and great looks.

This is a cute story about being honest with your loved ones and putting effort into the things that are important to you. There is a lot of finding-yourself-angst though that ran on a bit longer than was maybe necessary.
