Anna O had me hella intrigued with its premise. However, I think the book itself was a tad long & very heavily focused on psychology. I think if you enjoy psychology, you will love this. I did enjoy it but also just felt it was a tad too heavily focused there and I wanted it to pull back. It made it feel so long and I wanted it to get more to the point. It was a bit convoluted. I did like the end tho. There’s some good twists! I just wish it didn’t take so long to arrive there. 

This book had me in my feels. I really felt for the main character. She is struggling with how to exist outside of alcohol. She’s a year sober and trying to form bonds but isn’t sure how that looks sober. She struggles to navigate everything. She also struggles with her relationship with her father who is also an alcoholic. 

My family is riddled with drug abuse or alcoholics so I was a little apprehensive about this one but I actually loved it. It gave me hope and I liked the insight into the alcoholics mindset. It was very lighthearted so it’s not a heavy read. There’s emotions and loss and feelings for sure but nothing too heavy which made it very readable for me. 

I just loved the progression of this one. The acceptance. The growth of the character. Definitely recommend it.
