Note: I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Around the halfway point of this book, I was struggling. I thought the realization we were waiting for the main character to come to was easy to figure out and I could not understand why it was taking so long. I kept remarking to my partner about how a good 10% of the book. But then the last part of the book changed everything.
Of course the book needs to be this long, and you need to finish it regardless of how long it may take you. I firmly believe, like Meyerson seems to, that you carry every book you’ve ever read with you. And what I will carry with me from this story is that everyone’s journey is paced differently, and you cannot influence the speed at which others progress. But you CAN spread kindness and empathy to everyone you come actoss, and you can absolutely leave the world a better place than you found it.
I would recommend this book for everyone to have, but to read when they feel is right. Think of Amy Meyerson not as a romantic love scribe, but as a scribe for self-discovery.
