Ten Rules for Faking It by Sophie Sullivan

4.0

I loved this book. It wasn’t perfect but the characters felt so real. As someone who deals with anxiety myself being able to read about someone (even if they’re fictional) who’s mind works similarly to mine was so refreshing. I appreciate how realistic the anxiety representation in the novel was and that there wasn’t some magical “fix” where suddenly the anxiety was gone. Sure it got better but so many times you see that authors like to have a solution for everything. Instead readers get to watch Everly’s development and go through the journey of her gaining confidence. BUT the anxiety is never fully gone it is still a very present part of her life. I also think the way others interacted with her for better or worse and the struggles she’s gone through were super accurate which I appreciated. I feel as though I should also say that I did like the romance and the slow-burn but I was so caught up in loving the representation in such an accurate way.
