Ranting and Reading Collective discussion

This was a fun, light read. It challenged me a couple of times when I assumed where it was going & threw me a curve ball to check my bias on chick lit!

I read a lot of sapphic romance, so was intrigued to see what I'd make of heterosexual version (although happy to have a sapphic background character - I wanted more of them!), but somehow it didn't give me the feels, I didn't feel the connections as deeply as I would have thought I might.

That said every time I thought it was getting predictable & far to easy, they did throw in some deeper emotional conversations about mental health etc. I did like the conversation around the similarities we all have no matter who you are, societal expectations on women are set at a level none of us can live up to, which is something my feminism over the last 15 years has really opened my eyes too.

My absolute favourite character was Cricket, and I could read a book purely about her anytime!

Perhaps if I wasn't set up with my network of amazing women, it would have felt more meaningful to follow the journey of all of us living our messy lives without worrying.

That said, do as I say, don't do as I do!!
