When I started book one, I wasn't sure what to expect. I'll be honest I didn't LOVE Shaena. As readers we are given a very intimate view of her thoughts and emotions and our girl is messy.
Her struggle with food, her inability to admit her flaws, and the excuses irked me. With that said, I was still empathetic because there were several people in her life that triggered her and pushed her to be on the defensive.
In book 2, we see her continue to slip and make excuses, but we also see the catalyst that brings her clarity. Once she stops making excuses and puts in the work and allows herself to be vulnerable, she becomes unburdened and embraces personal growth. I was rooting for our girl and was ready to throw hands when that fake bish did her dirty.
This story reminded me of Bridget Jones where you have a flawed protagonist, that is simply trying to exist and find happiness and inner peace.
