While The Best Worst Thing is well-written and features short, engaging chapters, the story itself didn’t quite work for me. There was a heavy reliance on miscommunication, and the characters’ deep flaws made it difficult for me to connect with them. That being said, fans of literary fiction, especially those who’ve experienced similar life events, may resonate with this book more than I did.
