About the Book
Becky gets a tarot reading that predicts her death, so naturally what should she do? She writes letters to those closest to her telling exactly how she feels and sets off to travel the world with the days she has left. Except, she doesn't die. And now has to deal with the consequences of her honesty and has to start over finding a job, a place to live, and hoping that her family and friends forgive her.
Quick Review (Spoiler Free)
Oh boy… Do you like witty narration? Do you like awkward “messy girl” fiction? Are you in your 20s + and contemplating what your life is? Or, do you just want a good life lesson? If you said yes to any of these, then read this book. It was such a funny tale of blind love and life lessons. I picked this up as part of a Netgalley promotion and I ended up really enjoying it. I laughed almost the whole way through. It feels very real and raw and
Now, let's get into the details!!
(Note: Some text may appear to be blocked out, just highlight that text to read it.)
I was hooked on the ‘My tarot reading said I’m gonna die so I might as well be brutally honest with those around me… Oh shit, I didn’t die… Now what?’ story teaser. The comedy potential around that was enough to get me to read this. And I am REALLY glad that I did. I was not expecting a life lesson, multiple emotions, a twist, and a feel-good vibe throughout the story.
Firstly, Becky is obnoxious and idiotic (which is kind of the point of her character because growth). You can feel the emotions that she is going through as you read the book. That aspect was very well written in my opinion. The relationships that she has throughout the book are real and raw. There’s no instant fix for Becky’s actions and she has to find her way through the mistakes that she makes.
Her friends are not afraid to be true to themselves and don’t change who they are to progress the story along.
Some additional points to her friend circle:
Max can kick rocks. Fran and Becky should have been friends in the end. Just my opinion. I would have loved a badass reunion of these two just to spite him.
Angie is life goals. She is no bullshit and openly honest with those she cares about. She genuinely means well but just has a blunt delivery. Everyone needs a friend like this.
I saw someone else leave a review saying Phil is like Kronk and I cackled and now cannot unsee that.
Okay, so what I liked is also part of what I disliked. Becky is obnoxious. She constantly has the same pattern of woe, embarrassment, and child-like responses to almost every encounter she is in. She does grow throughout the story but it seems like until she has the “aha” moment in her life to grow up, she just can’t get past the childishness. I feel like maybe a more gradual shift might have put it at that 5 star mark for me.
I would like to thank Netgalley, Chloe Seager, and William Morrow Paperbacks for this eARC opportunity!
