A review by mezzythedragon
Grown-Up Pose by Sonya Lalli

3.0

I liked the second half of the book better. Anu is a flawed, messy character, but that was the whole point of the story. She has to screw up in order to grow up. Personally, I don’t mind 30-yr-olds sounding immature in stories, because everyone’s different. If anything, “maturity” is subjective, and it’s refreshing to see 30-something folks not having everything figured out. Who does, anyway?

And contrary to what people have said here, I liked the second-chance dynamic between Anu and her estranged husband. All too often, we see stories of rocky marriages ending in divorce, so it’s a nice change of pace.
