Come As You Are by Jess K. Hardy
3.0

thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the arc!

the cover art for this book is what drew me in. it’s so pretty! looking at it you wouldn’t know it was a gen x romance

i loved madigan. he was like kind of a grump but also with golden retriever energy which is a great combo

the MCs didn’t seem like they were close to 50 in the way that they acted. a lot of their dialogue and interactions seemed kind of immature. also, maude alice (love her name) was the most chaotic character i’ve ever read and not in a fun way!! she’s making her daughter’s life miserable

overall it was very cute, but i wish the characters were a little more mature. i loved the fact that it showed addiction and recovery in a way that didn’t seem disrespectful.
