I usually have a difficult time relating to a lot of poetry but I found solace and felt very seen from this one....more

This 'Year of ROur narrator is unlikable. To be fair... every character is somewhat unlikable. I didn't like them and that's what made this book good.
This 'Year of Rest and Relaxation' was a way for our privileged, young, and beautiful blonde to avoid and distance herself from her traumas and depression by entering a voided state. This, in the hopes of coming out healed, refreshed, and more aware of life and living.
This was a very unique book, an odd little thing that showcases destructive tendencies, the effects of depressive episodes, and the misuse of drugs in a very real way. It's uncomfortable. The dull and pointlessness is a perfect depiction....more

I love Charlie and Nora. Charlie is the kind of guy I fall for all the time especially because he has such a good flirt game. Nora is quite literally me... peloton, books, & work lmaooo. These two have the best banter and it stayed prevalent throughout the entirety of the book.
I loved the sister bonding sub-storyline. I could see myself in this book due to the fact that my sister and I are as close as Nora and Libby are. The touch on fear of abandonment is what really got me all emotional. With family and relationships, it's a hard pill to swallow. With that, it did take over for a while near the end and started to lag.
Now while this wasn't my favorite book by Emily Henry, this still was an incredibly wonderful read that had me giggling and blushing to words on my couch while simultaneously wiping my eyes due to tears....more

Comedic with the humor we find on our socials today. Relatable in the way growing up a cusper of the millennial x gen z would understand and find commonalities. The pop culture didn't bother me for once, as most of the time these types of mentions usually diminish a story. The second half dove a little deeper and had darker topics. Sadly, around this area was when it also started to drag and feel a little one-dimensional. I found things I loved and laughed about as well as things that just didn't hit for me. Overall an interesting read.
