This book was truly a case of judging a book by its cover for me. I was drawn to the title and the synopsis sounded cute, but unfortunately this was not a good fit for me. 

I was bored from the very beginning and saw from the get go how this was going to end. In addition to that, I never felt a connection with Cecily. I found myself purposely finding other things to do so I didn’t have to read it and when I did pick up my kindle, it was with great trepidation. Finally, after a week, I decided to call it a day. I jumped a few chapters, skimmed others, and jumped to the end. 

I think this author just isn’t a good fit for me since I wasn’t a fan of her last book either. Please don’t let this review sway you from reading the book if it sounds cute to you; I know quite a few people who really enjoyed this. Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Ballantine for an advanced copy. Back After This hit the shelves February 25th.
