This is one of my favorite books of this year! I couldn’t get enough of this story. It was so powerful and had such a beautiful meaning.

Charlie Quinn has closed herself off from love and all feelings. All she wants to do is work as much as she possibly can. She has put herself in a bland routine with her working hours and eating the same meal every day. One day, everything comes crumbling down, and on her birthday no less. She loses her job and her boyfriend, and on top of that, gets food poisoning from the same dinner she eats every night. She decides to head back home to LA to see her mom and her sister Benny. She hasn’t been home in years.

The dual timelines from the past and present really helped put in perspective why Charlie Quinn was the way she was. Very closed off and not wanting to feel any feelings. I admittedly shed a tear learning why she was so closed off.

While being home, she gives in to her very positive-thinking sister, Benny, and has to say yes for a month! Meaning, she has to say yes to everything. This really opens her eyes to new opportunities in life. She even runs into a past crush, and it turns into something more.

Charlie’s character shows incredible growth throughout the story. It really makes you think about life and opening yourself up.

I will be recommending this book to everyone.

Final Score 5/5
