Really Good, Actually by Monica Heisey

4.0

Starting out this book I really didn't like it and honestly was close to DNF'ing it. It felt a bit like the author was trying to write similarly to Dolly Alderton and some of the jokes weren't really that funny. But as I pushed through, the writing really started to grow on me. People seem to dislike this book because the main character is quite unlikable, and yes, she is, but I could still relate to her a lot, and she felt so real. While reading I realized that Maggie showed sides of myself that I dislike and wish to hide, but reading about someone being so openly unhinged and struggling kind of felt comforting. The book was also very easy to read, and I honestly loved the ending. I love Maggie despite all her faults. Would recommend, but probably not to everyone.
