Grown-Up Pose by Sonya Lalli
4.0

A fun, fast read. It's a little hard to empathize with a character who does things like buying a yoga studio or traipsing around Europe on a whim, but Anu's personal life and internal struggles are relatable. I do love a story where the female lead has issues in her life, attempts to fix them, realizes she doesn't know how to fix them, realizes she's not even sure what issues she's trying to fix, and then decides to keep trying anyway.

The writing is engaging and well-paced, and the characters are entertaining, if not always believable. The ending is a bit too perfect for me, but it's still satisfying.
