This was a really hard book to read. I was expecting a cute romcom and it definitely isn't that at all. It was hard to read so many chapters of her deep sadness. I did appreciate her working through her anxiety and starting to build some friendships and a life she was happy with. I think the anxiety and depression representation is essential. However, the description and cover didn't prepare me for the content of the book and that made it harder to enjoy because I wasn't ready for the themes. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Alcove Press for the opportunity to review this book ahead of publication. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.
