I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. Overall, I really enjoyed the book's message of healing. It started off slow for me, but 52 Weeks, A Party of One beautifully showed a woman going through the healing process and coming out stronger. The ending was great, and I truly enjoyed her journey.

52 Weeks a Party of One is a wonderful character study of dealing with grief and betrayal, and healing (or lack of). It is heavy, thoughtful, and powerful, and will have you reeling as you see yourself and your own healing journey in the main character along the way.
Aisha our FMC is a headstrong, independent woman in her 30's with commitment issues and abandonment trauma. She seems to do everything she can to heal, while simultaneously doing everything she can to avoid healing. Seems a bit like a catch 22 no? It is, and that appears to be one of the points. Healing is never a straight line, and you can't move forward until you are truly ready to move forward.
I loved this book, it was so powerful and such a wonderful exploration of abandonment, trust, commitment, self healing and exploration, and friendship. It dives into her independent journey of healing and how sometimes even when the worst things happen, things will eventually be ok if you put the work into making them ok. If you don't, things won't get better.
Bianca Pensy Aba once again succeeded in drawing me into the story as if I was a piece of the main character, and brought me along for the healing and self discovery.
One thing I loved was that she did not make up with her best friend or former partner. I don't think that is something that should happen, and I am glad she was able to healthily end the relationship. I am glad she was able to have honest conversations with her mom and brother, and repair those relationships.
I definitely recommend giving this one a read!
