This book started out slow for me but once I became invested in the characters, I couldn’t put it down. The journey that Charlotte goes through is frustrating, but rewarding, and she experiences a lot of growth throughout the duration of the story. I didn’t quite know where the story was going at first, but then about a quarter of the way through I began to see it was about her relationship, yes, but also he experiences at college and unpacking her past trauma with her ex and mother, as well as her current trauma with her boss.
