I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue
Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
I'm soft dnf'ing this because I think I know exactly where this is going, but if it turns out that I'm wrong, I'm willing to continue.
I guess a big part of why this was a huge disappointment for me was that I was expecting a critique of capitalism and not a run-of-the-mill messy woman meets obvious romance.
I'm very conflicted about the writing style because on one hand, it is funny and also not too absorbed in its wittiness, but on the other hand, I'm getting tired of the way she describes her feelings as sensations in her body. I don't know how to explain that. I just feel there's too much of it.
Here's how I think this book will go. Let me know if I'm wrong.
- Aftter stubbornly making only stupid choices, the main character gets a redemption arc
- The main character gets over her anxiety and traumas through wholesome interactions
- The plot of the book revolves around the obvious romance with the male Mary Sue
- She realizes her co-workers are also people with their own problems and maybe she is also a little bit to blame
- Happy ending yay.
