Shortly before graduation, high school senior, Rose Riley Moon struggles with unbridled anxiety whilst navigating through the most turbulent and trying week of her life. In an increasingly abusive relationship with her intoxicatingly handsome boyfriend, Devin Miller, Rose becomes pregnant and endures unexpected rejection, violence, and, after a dark secret is brought to light, debilitating pain. Rose leans on her irresponsible and pregnant best friend, Gabby Thomas, for emotional support, self-medication for escape, her co-worker, Penny, to confide in, and-despite a temporary letdown-her mother, Randy Moon, for support and unconditional love. It's a wicked puzzle ...
A short intense read about anxiety and abuse, told from a teenager's perspective. These topics are unpleasant to read about, however the brave actions of the characters provide hope that by confiding in others a change for the better can and will happen! Thanks NetGalley for an advance copy 😊

Not Enough, the debut novel from author and artist Ada Brooks, delves into deeply personal topics and takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride with a surprise twist. The deep dive into '90s teen life is fun, while you feel for the main character and all that she faces. A fresh and fast-paced, great summer read! Five stars!
Book is horrible, a painful read. It's ashame I had to give it a star. Only friends or family would support this trash. You can't just keep my clothes and it be ok.
