I did have laugh out loud moments reading this book. I enjoyed the relationship between the main character Feyi and her best friend Joy. People complained that it was too messy but I didn’t think so. There is certainly drama and poor decision making and selfish acts but there is room to give the character grace as she’s learning how to love again and feel alive.
