5.0

I spent the first 70% of this novel absolutely dreading every single pathetic thing Andy did. This became another Dolly Alderton five star read for me after one specific chapter ending that gutted me. As per usual, subjects include the terrifying feeling of being single in your thirties, childless, and miserable. Last chapter was a bit long and tacked on but I found it gave a whole new dimension to the novel.
