HyperfixKate's Book Journey

As a girly who also has both anxiety and relationship OCD, this book hit me so hard. I was reading Phoebe's dialogue, but it honestly felt like I was looking in a mirror at my own thoughts at a lot of points. This book entered my life at a time that I needed it most, and I'm so grateful that Brooke Averick wrote this novel.

Phoebe's characteristics make you fall in love with her in the first 30 pages. She's so witty, kind, and compassionate towards the people around her, basically to everyone but herself. I love seeing her grow and find love for herself throughout this book, and reading those last few pages made me sob because of how I've had such similar thoughts and feelings about these types of things. Her friends are also amazing, and I also really loved her relationship with all of them, but especially with Jonathan. We see throughout the novel that they really are all going through their own things, and in the end it was great to see them all together conquering their problems and/or fears together.

I don't know when the last time I felt this many emotions while reading a book, until this one. I laughed, I cried, and I just felt so seen. This book is actually going to get a 6 star from me because it was just that good. Brooke just gets it, and I'm so happy that Phoebe is out in the world for the folks like me who resonate so much with her and what her story is about.

Overall, would recommend everyone read this not only for the love story of it all, but to understand what it's like for someone who does experience anxiety and relationship OCD together.
