I'd Give Anything by Marisa de los Santos
4.0
Thanks to the publisher, via Edelweiss, for an advance e-galley for honest review.
There is something consistently, quietly lovely about the way Marisa de los Santos writes, and it's on display here. We get to read Ginny's perspective from diary entries she wrote as an idealistic teenager, and then we see how her life is unfolding in her late 30s after her husband gets embroiled in a really gross workplace scandal. What happened to change her outlook? This was a very warm, friendship oriented story that let Ginny grow and learn, and find that teenage perspective that she'd been missing. I'll read nearly anything Marisa de los Santos would write, and this one was a real pleasure.
