Julie Tomlinson’s debut novel is so well-written that it hardly feels like a first book. The storytelling flows effortlessly, drawing readers into Reilly’s journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Reilly has spent much of her life trying to meet others’ expectations, seeking validation at every turn. Growing up in a family where alcohol was a destructive force, she vowed to break the cycle. But despite her efforts, she finds herself trapped in the same unhealthy patterns. After years of relying on dating apps and staying in a passionless marriage, she finally decides it’s time for a change. She deletes the apps, steps away from relationships that no longer serve her, and embraces the truth she’s been avoiding—being a lesbian means confronting challenges, but it also means living authentically.
Reilly’s story is inspiring, raw, and deeply relatable. The book’s title perfectly captures her journey, and Julie’s fast-paced, engaging writing keeps readers hooked until the very last page. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and highly recommend adding it to your reading list!
Thanks for reading.
