The Best Thing I Never Had by Erin Lawless
5.0
This book was easily one of my favourites this year. Full of angst, jealousy, love and fear, it was easy for me to sympathize with these characters. The drama of the university years, the kind that can really only develop when people live together, kept me glued to the pages. I gave up sleep to finish reading this book, because I had to know how it turned out for everyone.
There's so much packed into every chapter, up until the very end, I was always (very pleasantly!) surprised by how much there was left to read. I wouldn't call it a comfortable read - I wanted to intercede on Harriet's behalf more than a few times - but it's a rewarding one, I think. There's lessons here about revisiting the past, about seeing things through someone else's eyes, and about patience. This would make an excellent book club read!
