Thank you NetGalley and Mira Books for the early release of this debut by Ava Robinson. I absolutely LOVED this book. It had me engulfed in the story from the very start. The characters and plot were enjoyable and relatable. 

As a woman in my late twenties I felt like this was a very important book to read. It shed a lot of light on self discovery, self worth and self growth. This book follows Emma a 26 year old recovering alcoholic who is just taking life one day at a time. The book is centered around her second year of sobriety while she deals with all of life’s ups and downs while remaining sober. 

This book has love, friendship, family, grief, and career all wrapped into one. It really shows how hard life can be in your late twenties and even more different and difficult it could be for someone struggling with alcoholism. I loved the way the author described and delved into addiction. This book made me emotional at times and had me cheering on the main character which is really all you can hope for while reading. 

This was a debut book by Ava Robinson and I really hope there are more books by her to come! This book comes out at the end of December 2024 so make sure you add it to your TBR you won’t be disappointed.
