From the bestselling author of I Hope This Finds You Well comes a sharply funny, surprisingly tender novel about a woman stuck in place, her nosy neighbors, and the journey to find where she belongs—with all the heart of a grown-up The Breakfast Club.
Mona thought her living situation was bad… but the real mess is just beginning.
One day is all it takes for Mona’s life to implode. After years of climbing at her marketing firm, she was supposed to be getting promoted and finally moving out of her crumbling apartment building. Instead, she’s jobless, aimless, and still stuck in a space barely big enough for a yoga mat.
Then her eccentric landlady takes a tumble and asks Mona to step in as the building’s reluctant super. The deal is simple: help prep the place for sale, and she can secure the upgrade she’s been chasing. But that’s easier said than done when the neighbors treat “boundaries” as optional. There’s the shouting couple, the mysterious shut-in, a possible panty thief in the laundry room—and Sami, the relentlessly cheerful diner owner who keeps showing up with coffee and unsolicited ideas about community. As Mona gets pulled deeper into the building’s chaos—and closer to the people inside it—she’s forced to confront what, and who, she’s really been trying to outrun. Sometimes, the place you’re desperate to leave is the one that finally shows you who you are.
Wise, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud funny, Natalie Sue’s sophomore novel is a story about burning out, starting over, and finding your people in the most unexpected places—perfect for fans of The Wedding People and Anxious People.

I adored it. It's a beautiful chronicle of modern life in the city and everyday adversity.
It's deeply funny, full of feelings and growth, and never preachy. The characters are interesting, layered and colourful.
The journey Mona goes through, both in her ambitions and her relationship with others, really resonated with me and I think will be really relatable to a lot of people.
I loved I Hope This Finds You Well and this one is even better. Nathalie Sue is a genius.
I absoloutly loved Natalie Sue's last book, I Hope This Finds You Well. While it looked like just your basic office comedy, it ended up being about how misfits don't fit in, and all have stories to tell.
Natalie Sue’s latest novel, You'll Love It Here is a mix of the same. Itis a biting and soulful inventory of a life in freefall. It captures the vertigo of watching a meticulously planned future vanish in an afternoon, only to realize you are still standing in the exact same spot where you began.
Mona’s unraveling is an explosion. With her career aspirations on pause, she remains tethered to a living space that mirrors her internal state: neglected and stagnant. The story shifts when Mona is coerced into becoming the reluctant property manager of her own decaying apartment complex, with dreams of fast tracking into a much nicer complex. Thinking she will no emotional attachment to her neighnors, she does what she can, even if it means betraying them in the process.
The building acts as a vibrant ecosystem populated by a collection of misfits: The neighbors are a chaotic group of bickering couples and suspected basement thieves. A nice whodunnit which will make you laugh. The decaying building itself is a labyrinth of leaky pipes that forces Mona to dismantle her own emotional defenses.
Along comes Sami, the resident hot local diner owner whose cheer serves as the perfect abrasive to Mona’s dry cynicism.
What begins as a tale of professional burnout deepens into an exploration of class and ambition. As Mona navigates the needs of neighbors she once dismissed, the novel questions if moving up is the only way to measure success.
Grounded by irony and fast paced prose, the story balances absurdity with emotional weight. It suggests that growth does not always require forward motion. Sometimes it comes from finally looking at what has been right in front of you all along.
Natalie Sue sure knows how to write books about misfits in the vein of Fredrik Backman.
I still haven’t read Natalie Sue’s first book, I Hope This Finds You Well, but based on reviews that I’ve read I know that a lot of people really liked it. When I saw that she’d written a sophomore novel, I knew that I wanted to request it. And I’m so glad that I did!
Mona kind of had to raise herself in a way. She had a father who spent more time with booze than her, and a very eccentric mother who is all over the place. When this book starts out, Mona is kind of in a rut. Her father passed away three months prior and after lashing out at an important client, she is placed on an involuntary mental health leave from her corporate marketing job.
When her landlord ends up in the hospital, Mona goes to visit and ends up becoming a temporary super after making a deal with her landlord’s niece, a realtor. If Mona can get the building spruced up and ready to be shown to potential buyers, she rent a brand new, modern condo for well below the market rate. But after the task is complete, will she still be interested in the modern one with all of the amenities?
The entire cast in this book was great! Natalie Sue does a great job at presenting characters who seem either weird or unlikable at first, and then having them grow on you.
This was a fast, easy, and enjoyable read, which makes me think that it would work very well as a palette cleanser. It has both funny and poignant parts, but overall is just a feel-good novel with a great ending. I think that it will also make many readers reexamine their priorities in life.
Thanks to William Morrow and Natalie Sue for providing me with an eARC via NetGalley.
Such a lovely collection of characters in this book! I really loved Natalie Sue’s first book and this one is a nice follow up (though I Hope This Finds You Well is still my fav). Good balance of humor, tenderness, uncomfortable misunderstandings, self-realization, and a bit of romance — not easy to do!
Thanks to William Morrow and NetGalley for the ARC!
Thank you to William Morrow Books for a #gifted finished copy as part of the #EpicTastemasters program and Librofm for an ALC as part of their Early Listener’s Program in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
You’ll Love It Here by Natalie Sue is blurbed as a journey of self discovery and found family dramedy. The story features Mona, a career focused woman with unresolved grief and trauma who upends her life after one spectacularly drunken night. After nearly burning down her apartment building and being placed on bereavement leave from her job, she agrees to be her building’s temporary super. Unfortunately she also commits to working behind the back of her elderly landlady to get the building sold.
This novel features a lot of story elements that I typically enjoy. The apartment’s tenants are quirky and charming, Mona’s love interest has a sunny personality AND is a trained chef, and Mona is primed for a character arc with growth and redemption. Unfortunately I never fully connected with Mona’s character. She was not kind to her neighbors and was also deceptive. And there was not as much character growth as I had hoped for. The ending also felt a bit too tidy for my taste. Although this story did not completely resonate with me, I think that other readers may find the side character’s charm outweighs Mona’s flaws 2.75/5⭐️
I listened primarily to the audiobook narrated by Nasim Pedrad. Ms Pedrad has a pleasing, almost conversational quality that I enjoyed. I think this would be the best way to enjoy this novel.
I absolutely loved I Hope This Finds You Well, and somehow this book is even better. I laughed out loud multiple times, and despite how funny it was, it also managed to be emotional and genuinely heartwarming. All loose ends were wrapped up beautifully, making the whole story feel incredibly satisfying.
I received an arc of this ebook from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
Quirky characters turned found family with a generous dose of humor seems to be Natalie Sue’s formula and it works for her. If you enjoyed her debut, I Hope This Finds You Well, I anticipate you’ll love this one too!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
4.25 ⭐️ If you had told me that a story about an apartment building, its residents, a judgmental fish, a sausage dog, and a mysterious panty thief would become one of the most entertaining books I’ve read this year, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. Yet somehow Natalie Sue made all of it work perfectly.
The story follows Mona, a marketing professional who unexpectedly finds herself taking over the management of a rundown apartment building for six weeks. What starts as a temporary arrangement quickly becomes something much bigger as she gets pulled into the lives of the residents around her. What I loved most was how this wasn’t really about fixing a building at all—it was about learning to see the people around you.
I’ve read a lot of books recently that focus on perspective and appreciating life, but this approached that idea in such a fresh way. Through Mona’s interactions with her neighbours, she slowly begins to realise that everyone around her is carrying their own struggles, histories, dreams, and heartbreaks. It’s a reminder that people are so much more than the brief moments we see of them.
But let’s be honest—the humour absolutely stole the show.
I genuinely cannot remember the last time a book made me laugh this much. Between the panty thief investigation, the sausage dog, the fish named Alice who somehow felt more judgmental than half the people in the building, and Mona’s running commentary on absolutely everything, I was constantly grinning. The dialogue felt so natural and authentic, full of sarcasm, awkwardness, and observations that were somehow both ridiculous and completely relatable.
What impressed me most was how effortlessly the author balanced the humour with genuine heart. Beneath all the laughs was a story about loneliness, belonging, community, and finding connection where you least expect it. There is a small romance woven throughout the story, which I really enjoyed, but the true heart of the book is the relationships Mona builds with the people around her and the way she slowly starts opening herself up to life again.
I also flew through this book. The writing was incredibly engaging, and I found myself wanting to spend more time with these characters every time I put it down. Natalie Sue has such a talent for making ordinary moments feel meaningful and turning seemingly random details into some of the most memorable parts of the story.
This wasn’t the type of book I would normally pick up, and honestly, that’s probably one of the reasons I loved it so much. It’s reminded me that sometimes the books sitting outside of your comfort zone end up becoming the ones you enjoy the most.
A heartfelt, funny, and surprisingly moving story about community, second chances, and paying attention to the people around you.
🤍 Favourite Quotes:
♡ “If we catch the panty thief, I might even admit I genuinely like it here.”
♡ “Sami, it’s like you took a part of my heart and made it into food.”
♡ “I feel it in the small moments like this… Like time doesn’t exist when I’m with him. Like I’m allowed to just be—no masks, no weight, just… me.”
♡ “All we have is the time we’re given. There’s time enough to make mistakes. But if we’re lucky, we get enough time to make amends. And so long as I’m here, it’s not too late.”
♡ Thank you to NetGalley, HarperCollins UK, and the author for the eARC ♡
This was so heartfelt! Like a warm hug. Mona is seriously so witty and funny! She had me cracking up from the very beginning. I love that this was sort of chaotic with all the quirky characters of the building, but also slow moving in that Mona learns a new pace in life after her plans for her future changed so abruptly. I love a book with character development and self-realization. Thank you to Harper Collins and NetGalley for the early eARC ❤️
Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this advanced copy. This book completely exceeded my expectations. It was funny, heartwarming, and full of characters who felt so real and bursting with personality. I loved seeing so many different types of people come together and form meaningful friendships - it was exactly the type of story I needed. By the end of the book I felt myself wishing I could go visit the diner and even spend time in the apartment building! This book felt cozy, uplifting, and genuinely joyful to read.
This was a fun little story - really enjoyed the set up and pace of this book! Predictable ending, but fun romcom vibes. The female lead is relatable and the cast of characters is quirky and fun. Less romance and more just a fun fiction story with a little romance. Friends to lovers, found family, a funky old building, and a fish that doesn’t quit.
Many thanks to William Morrow for the free ARC and to both WM and libro.fm for my advance listening copy! All opinions are my own.
I read and loved Natalie Sue’s debut novel, I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU WELL, earlier this year thanks to my friend Lynn. I was eager to read Sue’s follow up YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE and it did not disappoint!
Mona is chugging along in the corporate rat race, specifically a soulless (slightly evil) marketing job. She’s trying to outrun her childhood and her complex grief following the death of her father. She aspires to move out of the slightly worn down apartment building she’s in, full of misfits and colorful characters, to find her true home. She identifies her neighbors by nicknames rather than actual names - Weird Girl Next Door, Fancy Widow, Fighting Couple, Old White Perv, and so on. When Mona’s demons catch up with her and give her some mandatory time off of work, she has an unexpected and mostly unwelcome opportunity to get to know her apartment community better than ever before.
This novel is full of heart and humor, along with a very flawed but often sympathetic main character in Mona. It shares much of its DNA with IHTFYW, including an FMC scrambling to figure out herself and her life, a lovely romantic subplot, and Iranian-Canadian rep in the main characters and their extended families. There’s also plenty of secondhand embarrassment on Mona’s behalf, which is similar to IHTFYW also. A key difference is that this book centers on Mona’s home life rather than her office life - though the latter certainly casts its shadow even when Mona is away. Ultimately this book was about finding yourself and your true desires, and at the same time not judging others by your first impression. It was a lovely read and I’m so glad I had the chance to experience it!
I almost forgot to mention - there’s an adorable dachshund named Ernest featured too!
Audio thoughts: Nasim Pedrad is back to narrate this one like she did for IHTFYW. It’s such a treat both because of her talent and because of her Iranian background, common among the FMC, the author, and Nasim as the narrator. I mostly listened to the audio for this one and I don’t think you can go wrong either way!
After really enjoying Natalie Sue's debut, her sophomore novel didn't quite hit the mark for me.
Mona is a 30-something who doesn't quite have it all figured out. After years of climbing the corporate ladder, she finds herself in a very precarious position due to one fatal mistake with a very prominent client. Forced to take leave for the first time ever, she finds herself in need of a project to fill the time. It just so happens that her elderly landlady has recently had a fall, and she's out of commission for the foreseeable future. After some negotiating with her landlady's niece, Mona finds herself taking over the building's management duties, and with that comes the building's eccentric cast of characters.
The good: Sue really excels at character work, and I greatly enjoyed all the side characters in this novel. The kooky neighbors, the interfering parents, the backstabbing co-workers- they all contributed to this odd but endearing little community. I also enjoyed the humor sprinkled throughout including Alice, the judgmental fish.
The bad: My main complaint is with Mona herself. She's not a very likable character, and I never really warmed up to her. It's very obvious from the beginning what direction this story is going to go in, but the expected character development for Mona takes FOREVER. Even at the 85% mark she's still lying to her friends and not taking accountability for her actions. If this character was in her 20's, I think I would have more sympathy or understanding for her, but as someone in her 30's, she should know better. She's judgmental to those around her, including giving her neighbors unflattering nicknames (creepy old white man, incel, weird girl beside me, etc) even though she is in a very similar place monetarily to those around her. She thinks she's better than her neighbors because she has what she considers an important job. But she never considers the lives and circumstances of her neighbors and doesn't make any effort to get to know them until she's forced to.
Her relationship with Sami didn't fully work for me either. They definitely had chemistry, but I didn't see them as love interests- they felt more like friends. Sami has a good heart, and I just had a hard time believing he wouldn't see through Mona's judgmental and close-minded attitude.
There was also way too much profanity. I consider any profanity to be too much, but this felt gratuitous. None of it was necessary, and it really should've been scaled back.
Sue is a talented writer, and I look forward to reading more of her work in the future. This particular book was not my favorite though.
Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
“If I’ve learned anything, it’s that if you wanna keep something, it’s worth a little extra love.”
I had an opportunity to arc read this book on Net Galley.
The setup of our story: - Our main gal works in the rat race of the corporate world. - Lives in an apartment building that has seen better days and has some unique tenants. - Is forced to take a mental health leave of absence. - Makes a secret deal (behind the back of the current land lady) to get the apartment complex ready to be sold in exchange for an upgraded place to call home. - The dilemma = she has to keep it a secret, start talking to the neighbors she has avoided for 5 years, and get the tenants to cooperate.
I loved learning about all the quirkiness of this community and “not so fresh” building. There are quirky residents, weird smells, budding friendships, a cute love interest, and a lots of things to be sorry for (you’ll find out when you read!).
This is the first book I have read by Natalie Sue, and definitely won’t be the last.
MY BLOG What a funny, heartwarming story of growth, forgiveness, and discovering what actually brings joy in life.
I saw this compared to The Wedding People (one of my top reads of all time), so I immediately requested it on NetGalley. They do have similar vibes - our main characters are forced to grow and change due to their surroundings. But instead of focusing primarily on individual growth, You'll Love It Here focuses on the strength of the community and looking past people's tough exteriors.
Like The Wedding People, this book found me at the right time in my life to leave an impact on me. It's heartwarming, and a great reminder that other people going through shit, too. Sometimes you just need to let people in and allow yourself to find joy in unexpected places.
I agree that this is great for anyone that loved The Wedding People.
ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Fails to live up to her first novel. I think this started from a weak point with a conceit that wasn’t really that interesting, and it never really got over this hurdle. I found the pacing waxed and waned between to fast and too slow, not giving some of the bigger moments breathing room.
I did enjoy parts of this , and it definitely is another novel that will have a market … it just wasn’t as riverting.
I loved Natalie Sue's debut I Hope This Finds You Well so I was really looking forward to her sophomore novel You'll Love It Here.
There were aspects of this story that I enjoyed. The beginning started strong and I was intrigued right away by Mona and her kooky neighbors. I adored the supporting cast of characters – this seems to be a strong spot for the author as also displayed in her debut. I loved getting to know them better throughout the story and seeing how Mona's relationship and impression of them each changed and evolved over-time.
Unfortunately, there were a few things that didn't work for me. I didn't get the chemistry between Mona and Sami. Something about the writing didn't feel as strong here as it did in the author's debut. I felt my attention starting to wane and I ended up skimming towards the end to finish. Maybe there were too many things going on? I'm not sure.
I'm bummed I didn't like this one more despite enjoying aspects of it. As I mentioned, I did really enjoy the author's debut so I will definitely check out whatever she writes next. Maybe this was just a blimp for me.
I received a free copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
After one bitter comment to the wrong person, Mona is forced to take a leave of absence, and she feels the precarious life she's spent years building up crumbling around her. Unfortunately, her apartment building is literally crumbling around her. After her landlady falls and hurts herself, Mona agrees to watch over the building and its residents in her place, with a secret task from the landlady's niece to prepare the building for sale. As she starts to get to know the other residents, particularly a cute guy named Sami, it becomes clear that the building's sale will cost these people their homes, and it's up to Mona to decide whether it's worth it for the life of her dreams.
I read Natalie Sue's debut I Hope This Finds You Well almost two years ago, and for the record I love that she's cornering the market on books about girls with Iranian immigrant parents making questionable decisions and then realizing that the real treasure was the friends they made along the way. It's a niche genre, but I'm here for it.
I'm pretty sure I read I Hope This Finds You Well in the midst of a bad insomnia episode so the details are a little fuzzy, but based on my memory You'll Love it Here is more focused on the romance. It's a pretty cute romance so that's fine, but I think the plot/pacing suffers a little as a result. Natalie Sue's debut has such a snappy premise, and I would say that You'll Love it Here is a bit less exciting. There's plenty of humor and good characterization to all of the building's residents which is fun, but the central plot of Mona trying to secretly prepare the building for sale because she thinks that returning to her advertising job and getting a new apartment will make her happy as she's getting to know the residents and really finding a community for the first time is kind of...Disney Channel. Like, lying to people and getting in all of these tense, goofy situations where she almost gets found out, and having everyone get mad when they find out but they ultimately forgive her—this is the plot of Camp Rock.
It gets very rushed towards the end, with a few big time skips during which we just kind of have to assume that Mona did some healing, both with herself and in her relationships with her Mom and the other residents. The way that Mona fixes the situation ends up being...well, it was a little GoFundMe Ex Machina if you know what I mean. It's not a bad book—it is pretty charming and easy to read for the most part, and it's fun to meet all of these wacky characters and come to like them, but it's pretty predictable and the ending feels like a bit of an afterthought. Either better pacing or just a weirder plot overall would have served the book well.
Thank you to Natalie Sue and William Morrow for this ARC in exchange for my full, honest review!
Natalie Sue is back with “You’ll Love it Here”. The question of the day: Will *you*, though?
Mona is on the “fast” track to director at her marketing agency but after losing her father, and not taking time to grieve properly, an outburst at work lands her on boss-mandated time off. A workaholic with no work? Nothing good can come of it and nothing does, as she makes a mess of her apartment building’s lobby and stumbles into the arm of the hot diner owner and then into the orbit of hot shot realtor, with both seemingly giving Mona a glance into second chances. The former, a slowed down more communal life, and the latter, a chance to get back on track… if she’s willing to help clean out the building and help her sell it as discrete as possible.
Side note, as someone who works in a marketing-adjacent role AND also lives in a “it could be better” apartment building, I was also affected in such a way by the set up that it at times felt like a non-fiction more than a fiction. That’s on me! Sue did *too* good of a job.
I cannot say the same for the other parts of this book. I found our lead to make far too many questionable decisions for a down on her luck 30-something burnt out by work and dealing with grief. At times, she came across younger, especially in how she handled the main driving force of this story. It only added to my middling opinion on her. Which is a bummer because the narrator, THE Nasim Pedrad, of SNL fame, does a great job voicing her and the bevy of side characters here. It’s these side characters that ultimately kept me listening to this one — from Sami, the cute diner owner, to Norm, Jane, and others all dealing with their own issues — because our lead wasn’t doing it for me. I wished and wished that Mona would wisen up sooner listening to them reveal matter of factly their own real problems that may have brought some realization to her “scheme” of sorts. I know we’ve all been selfish (at differing stakes) but this felt like a bridge too far for a potentially new, upgraded apartment at the cost of letting these others go homeless.
There are other parts, while minor, also didn’t help here — while the side characters are well done, the overall vibe and mood of the book could not be any further from “funny” and beyond a very late tender moment, all that tender.
Of course, you know where this is heading before Sue reveals it which may give you all the warm feels or cause an eye roll. I landed somewhere in the middle. Not everyone can be Fredrik Backman, but a girl can try!
3.5 rounded up.
Thanks to NetGalley and HarperAudio Adult for the audiobook ARC.
oh man, what a bummer. i hope this finds you well found me at exactly the right time last year and ended up being one of my favorite books of the year. it was emotional and resonated with me on a very personal level in ways you'll love it here did not...
i honestly probably would have finished this if it wasn't a book i had such high hopes for. part of what i loved about i hope this finds you well was the way our main character hated her job and felt lost. one thing about me, i hate being An Employee. my dream is to never have to work again. it was a massive jump going from jolene's apathetic nature to mona's workaholic persona. i felt completely disconnected from mona and her obsessive overachiever, go-getter energy. i'm sure that she would've had an emotional arc had i continued on, but 63% in and i was getting nothing from her. i felt more attachment to literally any of the minor side characters than to her. i just was not expecting a book about someone who made her job her entire personality and looked down upon everyone else.
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t sure about this one at first. Mona initially seemed pretty unlikable, though messy and intriguing. She has not-always-kind nicknames for her fellow tenants in the old building where they all live. She is career and status focused. But when she is forced to take a leave of absence from work, she gets to know the people in her building better as she secretly helps a realtor get the property sale-ready. They have real names and big personalities and Mona grows to care for almost all of them.
This novel is about community and belonging. It’s also about what is potentially lost to gentrification. As Mona connects with her fellow tenants, her values begin to change and she points her life in a different direction. This is a light read with a lot of heart and humour. There’s a bit of romance too. Ultimately, I was completely charmed by this novel.
Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for allowing me to read an ARC of this title.
Thank you to William Morrow and NetGalley for this ARC!
I adored, I Hope This Finds You Well, and was super excited to get a chance to read You’ll Love It Here early!
Natalie Sue’s ability to blend sharp humor with such emotional depth reminds me very much of Fredrik Backman, who I also love!! The book is funny, heartfelt, and uplifting. It made me laugh out loud, had just a touch of romance, and light mystery. Natalie Sue explored loneliness, ambition, community, and self discovery.
You’ll Love it Here had strong character development with a gang of weirdos, residents, and lots of memorable side characters. I related to the found family dynamic she created.
I really loved I Hope This Finds You Well, so of course I had to read this ASAP. One thing about Natalie Sue, she writes character development very well. Mona’s journey from being avoidant to bonding with the community and her mother was heartening, as well as navigating the grief she’s been holding for so long. One of my favorite things was the way she balances heavy topics with heartwarming and hilarious moments. I’ll definitely continue to read her next books <3
Many thanks to NetGalley providing me with a digital review copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.
A touching, emotional, heartfelt, humorous and self-deprecating depiction of grief, found family and finding yourself. I was hooked from the very beginning and really found myself connecting with a lot of these characters. I really liked the way the author tackled how first impressions sometimes are not accurate and how if you slow down and give a little grace to those around you, you may realize you're more alike than you thought.
This was my first book by Natalie Sue but I’m looking forward to going back to her debut later this year!
Natalie Sue became an instant buy author for me with I Hope This Finds You Well, and You'll Love It Here solidified that for me. I loved the quirky cast of characters, the chaotic decisions of our main character, and the way things all came together at the end. I enjoyed getting to know everyone in the building and the touch of romance that came alongside it. Such a fun, touching read. The narration was also perfectly done.
Thank you to NetGalley and Libro.FM as well as the publisher for an early copy to read.
Mona never emotionally dealt with her father’s recent passing, so when she handles a client for her marketing firm badly they put her on leave. Having worked hard to climb to the top, this new freedom has Mona floundering and after a night of indulgence a series of events leads to her becoming the superintendent for her building. Now she is forced to get to know the people she’s been avoiding.
The same blunt humour as Sue’s debut graces these pages. I loved the characters. Their quirky personalities and chaotic interactions bring humour to a heartfelt story of growth and reflection.
Thank you @williammorrow for granting me this eARC and @harperaudio for the ALC. All opinions are my own.
When I tell you this book made me LAUGH out loud, I had tears streaming down my face throughout this book. This was such an easy, funny and at the same time, deep book that I will recommend to anyone. This was the first time reading a novel by Natalie Sue, and it certainly will not be my last.
Thank you Harper Collin’s and Netgalley for an opportunity to read this advanced copy!!
This is an -everything that can go wrong, will go wrong- mixed with an mc who willingly overlooks issues to get her own end goal, and that didn’t work the best for me…
This wasn’t an unenjoyable read. It was funny and sharp, with endearing characters and some decent character growth. I listened to the audiobook and I liked the narration.
I really enjoyed this! It isn’t so much found family as found community despite differences and inconveniences, and I loved the quirky characters. It was funny and sweet and the audiobook was excellent! TW: death of a parent, alcoholism Thank you so much to Libro, William Morrow, and Natalie Sue for the ALC
