Getting Clean With Stevie Green by Swan Huntley, Swan Huntley
3.0
Stevie Green is back in her hometown of La Jolla, CA and she is cleaning up. Quickly becoming one of the top professional organizers in the city, she is sober and coming face to face with some ghosts from her past. Right when she feels like she has it all under control, who should show up but her sister, Bonnie, fresh off a breakup and ready to be roomies. As Stevie and Bonnie become a clutter-busting team, there’s one thing Stevie still isn’t coming clean about - even to herself.
I really enjoyed the book. This is a book where you can see where it’s going, but thoroughly enjoy watching it get there. The characters in this book were not quite as developed as I prefer, but they were likable and fun. The dialogue between Bonnie and Stevie was hilarious and probably my favorite part of the book.
I recommend the book for a good light read. I feel like the potential is there for this book to be so much deeper than it is, so much more emotional and bittersweet, but that’s not to say I didn't enjoy it for what it is. I’m just one of those annoying people who says things like, “It’s great the way it is, but….it could be so much more!” I do it at dinner, too. “You know what these potatoes need?” That’s me to the person who just made me the yummy potatoes, thinks the potatoes don’t need anything, thank you very much, and probably wants me to shut my big yap. But…wow, this book could have packed a huge punch. While it fell a little short for me, Huntley absolutely has the talent to knock it out of the park and I can’t wait to read more of her work.
This book just came out earlier this week on Feb. 1, 2021 - look for it at your favorite local bookshop!
Thanks to Swan Huntley, Gallery Books and Netgalley for this ARC in return for my honest review.
