AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER WITH HEART WARMING PLOT

Okay okay okay, where do I even start? Y’all know I’m not exactly the contemporary reading person but every now and then I like it, to get my mind off of the heavy shit in life. But this book hit me like a wrecking ball.

We’re following sarcastic Aideen through her chaotic life in which she accidentally starts to solve everyone’s problems, she listens to everyone and wants nothing more than to make them happy, sadly she can’t talk about her own problems: that she has to carry the heavy burden of financial issues and a alcoholic mother.

However, I cannot even explain how deep the emotions of her hit me, how she had the feeling like she needs to keep it all together, like she is the own who always needs to be okay. How she tries to keep Holly but how that girl downright doesn’t give a shit. I felt that so hard, I almost cried, wow.

Still, the book was lightly written, although there has been tough topics, it didn’t end up being depressing, it gave me hope actually. It was great, because it showed that it’s okay to stand up for yourself and ditch the toxic people in your life and to get help when you need it.

And don’t get me even started on the romance!!!! Meabh and Aideen are literally the perfect match and I’m so so glad that they ended up together. I mean it was kinda obvious from even reading the synopsis, that’s why I didn’t put the spoiler warning on, but still, I loved their journey. Slightly enemies to lovers, but only slightly. But the whole thing with Kavi and Orla and Laura and Angela and Daniel Something and Dylan etc gave me the perfect Found Family vibes and damn I’m so here for it.

There’s nothing else to say. It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read and if you like a cute contemporary with great representation (both LGBTQ+ and people of color) it’s definitely a must-read for you!
