If you're going to pick this one up, I highly suggest the audio. I started off with a mix of reading and listening, but I was continually pulled back to the audiobook with its duet narration and sound effects. It was amazing!
I loved that we got to see debilitating anxiety and depression within a profession you wouldn't typically expect. Lucy Galindo is living two lives. By day she works as a high school guidance counselor, often escaping to her cry closet. In her free time she is the confident @TheMissGuidedCounselor offering wisdom on Instagram. I thought her comfort behind a screen was very relatable, but also a great reminder that anyone could be struggling with their mental health behind closed doors.
Unknowingly interacting both online and in person, the romance between Lucy and Fletcher (the new history teacher) gave strong "You've Got Mail" vibes! I really, really enjoyed their online banter, but sadly their in-person relationship was just ok for me. Something about their overall chemistry didn't feel quite believable.
