What a sweet romance novel! As someone with an English degree who grew up with a parent who worked in the public school system, this book was everything I needed and more.
Though it’s the second book in the Leade Park series, it can be read as a standalone.
This novel follows Jenny who we learn has experienced a toxic and emotionally abusive relationship and has had a string of one-night stands ever since. She’s comically chronically late to everything—appointments, meetings, and relationships.
Ben, a fellow English teacher with whom Jenny has been friends for 9 years, seems like the perfect guy. But is Jenny really worth his time and attention? And can they ever get their timing right?
This is a novel about learning to love yourself and discovering how to put yourself first… even when you’re a chronic people pleaser.
