At first, I thought I wasn’t going to like this book because of all the inner monologue that was going on in the beginning, and I was not liking it, but once we get introduced to other characters, and our main character starts to want to explore and have different experiences of all of the stuff that she has missed the book gets so good. This was a great coming of age story. We see our main character Maddie go through so much and it really takes us on a roller coaster of emotions. Like I had all of the feels, and I love when a book is thought-provoking and has such a realistic approach to so many of the challenges that we have to face when it comes to family relationships, our work environment, our sexual explorations, and just searching for who we want to be as a person in this life. It was so fucking good. Our girl gets her happily ever after, and it just brought me so much joy.

I will definitely be buying a physical copy of this book. Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for providing me with an ARC.
