Go Find Less by Thea Claire
5.0

Thank you to Thea Claire for providing this eARC!

Piper never thought she would be both a widow and a recovering alcoholic when her 10-year high school reunion came up. And when she gets roped in to helping plan the reunion she wasn't even going to, she definitely never saw herself with Fitz, the stoic hottie from high school who stood by while his friend bullied her. But there's more to Fitz than meets the eye and soon they both may find that the other is exactly what they need to bring out the best version of themselves. 

This book made me feel all the emotions. Piper's journey is full of tragedy and heartbreak, resilience and recovery, and general badassery. I could really relate to her feeling like she had to make herself small, or somehow more "palatable", to other people.

Fitz is a heavily flawed MMC that somehow still manages to be endearing. The author has created this "marble man" stone-faced character who also makes you just want to give him a hug (however much he would hate it!). There are so many layers to uncover and I STILL liked him from the get go.

Thea Claire's characters, both main and side, are so well-written, I felt like I was actually hanging out with these people. The sense of found family between them all is riveting and heartwarming. Knowing this is the first in a series, I can't wait to learn more about these characters and their struggles and successes.
