i was hesitant about this book because it had blown up on tiktok, so i wasn't sure just how good it actually was. good god, this book is crazy and stressful and hilarious and ridiculous. i LOVED it. very similar energy to motherthing in the sense that this book covers some really heavy topics in a very laissez faire kind of way. i loved the way this book was written because you really felt like you were in the mind of Greta and her thought processes. not to mention, i got so freakin' stressed out when everything started to totally unfold and i just could not put this book down. i will be thinking about this one for a long time!!! i also really appreciated the perspective of an older woman because my books tend to skew younger main characters. im not a big rereader by any means, but i definitely anticipate myself reading this again.
