I have so many feelings about this book. The first impression is definitely one of entertainment. Lucy is funny and sarcastic in a way that you wish you could be all the time but know would only be possible if you had 24 hours to come up with a response. She is also a painfully real character and thus following along with her story is equal parts comforting and confronting. Comforting because you know that at least you aren't the only 20-something-year-old who is so completely lost and overwhelmed with their own mediocrity in the midst of the "best years of their life". Confronting because every clearly bad decision that Lucy is making is admittedly something you have already done or thought of doing. Anna Fitzpatrick's writing was bold and raw and I loved that Lucy wasn't a fixer-upper character that started single, anxious, insecure and still figuring it out and magically ended with the perfect life in just 300 pages. 

One caveat I will add is that this book was only so enjoyable because I could relate to it so personally.
