Release date 7th July 2022

I found this book quite relatable in the sense that your life seems less put together compared to others and you feel as though you’re falling behind and losing. Hanna has broken up with her long term boyfriend and has moved back home with her dad at the age of 30. She needs to find a job, she wants to move out and she'd like to have a relationship but life doesn’t give us what we want. Hanna senses that she’s fallen behind her peers and is in a rush to catch up - she’s back to Square One. She meets friends back from school, struggles to adjust to her new job and is frustrated with her dad who is back on the dating scene. We see her navigate herself through a casual relationship whilst her ex moves on. Thank you to NetGalley for sending me a digital advanced copy.
