Don't Overthink This by Kelly Piazza
4.25

This book was fantastic. It wasn't entirely what I expected, because while there is a beautiful second chance romance in this book, I wouldn't say it's a traditional romance book. It has a lot more literary elements, as we go through Matty's story of addiction as he works towards sobriety.
This book was raw and honest and so well written. Handling a difficult topic in such a good way. 
I also wasn't expecting the book to be told entirely from Matty's perspective. I think this is the first book marketed as a romance that I've ever read, which is entirely from the male perspective. I've read dual POV before, but this was refreshingly different, and considering the storyline, I think it worked so well getting only his perspective. 
The one negative I have is that at times some of the language was a little repetitive.
Overall however, this was a great book with a unique and interesting plot, a great friend group and wonderful leads.
