10/10, literally no notes. I think this is the most accurate representation of social anxiety I’ve ever read. Abby handled the heavy topics in the book with such care and sensitivity. I was literally shaking the book and talking to the characters at times. Not to be dramatic, but this book altered my brain chemistry and I will never be over it. Thank you for this gift of a story.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Cursing, Infidelity, Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, Sexual content

Minor: Chronic illness, Infidelity, Miscarriage, Medical content, Pregnancy, Gaslighting, Abandonment

MFC has past experience with infidelity, and a miscarriage that she has to work through. MMC has social anxiety that is a big part of the story. Only explicit sexual content is chapter 39, if you’d prefer to go in knowing that or wanting to skip that content. Many f words throughout.
