A review by maddiejuly
The Man I Never Met by Elle Cook

4.0

4.5 stars. What to say about this book? It wasn’t at all what I was expecting it to be (ie, a very low-effort rom-com). Instead I got a genuinely deep and emotional book with characters that felt real and situations that didn’t feel contrived.

I felt pretty negatively about the heroine’s self loathing/constant self-body shaming, but I feel like she generally grew out of this and I was happy with who she became in the end (and that the book actually showed her growth).
