5-29-23: My 60th finished book of 2023! I‘m not sure how I feel about this one. Lexie is a very flawed character and most of what happens to her is messy and uncomfortable. After escaping her small town and awful “parents”, Lexie becomes a counselor at the prestigious Ruxton Academy. Suffering from crippling anxiety she generally takes too much klonopin which aids in her making bad choices. ⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣6️⃣0️⃣

When there's a blurb by Nick Hornby on the cover, you stack it. Hahaha

4🌟Galley from Harper Perennial. Great book! It's a departure for her because it's set today rather than 70s/80s. I found it very relatable to my dating life, past and present. I want Amy and Dot to be my best friends. Overall an extremely enjoyable book with a fun twist at the end.
