Some Sort of Happy by Melanie Harlow

4.0

emotional medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Even though the characters knew each other in high school this book was a little too instalove for me. Despite this I liked Skylar and Sebastian. They tried to support the other’s insecurities and anxieties. I do wish Skylar researched OCD with the same effort and diligence as she did researching and preparing for her job interview. She tried her best to help Sebastian cope but I think if she did more prep work on her end she could’ve avoided getting frustrated with him about certain things earlier on. It was clear the character had deep feelings for each other and they are a couple you will find yourself rooting for. While I am not knowledgeable on OCD, I do feel like Melanie did a good job of writing Sebastian’s internal thoughts in a way that helped the reader relate to him and out themselves in his shoes.
