I'm Fine and Neither Are You

Torn doesn't begin to describe my feelings for this book. I wish I had known what I do now before I picked it. Frankly, if I did, I wouldn't have read it. It's a relatable, emotional coaster of a book. The MC Penn is so self-absorbed and fickle, she drove me absolutely crazy. The thing about that though is I am not absolutely sure I just didn't see too much of myself in her. Penn faces many struggles, being a mom of two and married to a man following his dreams, she puts herself on the back burner. Probably has done so one too many times. She's at a point in her life where everything is unstable, and she's beginning to resent her relationship with the world her complacency has created. It's not until her world is turned upside down that she has this awakening and every little thing she has nitpicked in her recent life has become a problem that must be solved, and now. I was left asking myself who Penn was having a love affair with, Jenny or Jenny's Blog, because it certainly wasn't her husband. Penn gets so trapped in what she thinks her life should be that it leaves this gaping hole of nothingness. It pained me to read this sometimes, pained me to see her work her way backward out of this struggle. Where the book does end optimistically, I would still like to state that Penn is not fine, and she should really see someone. Till next time Pagan...
