I really do love to recommend this book. It's for a reader with very specific tastes (like me). One problem, I never seem to remember the title. It just wont stick in my brain.
I enjoyed the hell out of this read. Amy is a mess, I adore her. To me this book is about who you are in connection with those around you. Amy is a loose thread, she's severely lonely and just wants to find a place where she fits. I get it.
Definitely reminiscent of [b:The New Me 36342706 The New Me Halle Butler https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1579583497l/36342706.SY75.jpg 58022687] and [b:Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine 31434883 Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine Gail Honeyman https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1493724347l/31434883.SY75.jpg 47327681], this story focuses on the life of 25-year-old Amy Hadley who is working a summer job as a housekeeper while preparing to take her third attempt at the EMT exam.What follows is Amy's attempts at socializing and fitting in. Every interaction she has is thought through in intense detail, and eventually compounds into an array of bad decisions.The story captured my interest enough to keep me reading, and while it wasn't uncomfortable necessarily, I did find myself feeling some type of discomfort as Amy's habits became more and more unusual and details about her past were revealed.I wouldn't recommend this, but I don't regret reading it.
