A review by bookswithbuns
Penelope in Retrograde by Brooke Abrams

4.0

(3.75⭐, rounded up) Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher(s) for the eARC in exchange for an honest review and/or promotion. This book - both the cover and its title - looked and sounded so intriguing to me, so thank you again to the publisher for the opportunity. I thought this was such an entertaining and engaging read! The banter and wit put on display here is both razor-sharp & refreshing— so many parts were laugh-out-loud funny to me, and the book struck the perfect balance in my opinion by also having just as many deep and emotional moments throughout. I found Penelope to be very relatable as our FMC and I think lots of others will as well. A great debut by a fresh new face, I'm excited to read more of Abrams' work in the future!
