⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review - Enough Already by Mary Hargreaves

This review has been made possible thanks to @NetGalley and Trapeze for providing me with an Advance Reader’s Copy in exchange for an honest review.

The story follows Briony, a twenty-something working in tech, living with her boyfriend and going out partying with her friends. Except Briony worries about everything, whether she’s done something to upset someone, whether they hate her because of something she said, whether she’s doomed at work because she can’t do public speaking. Following a panic attack at work, she seeks help at a group therapy session and meets Sarah and Jordan, who have issues of their own.

I thought the story moved at a relatively good pace, the characters were interesting and they all had their own quirks and pasts that you had to uncover. While I understand it was par the course for Briony’s thoughts to be repetitive and spiral off into doomsday scenarios, it felt a little bit tired to me. The book as a whole gave off very Eleanor Oliphant vibes, but in my opinion it wasn’t as well refined. I think the biggest issue Briony had was overthinking and catastrophising too much, as she could have avoided causing problems for herself at work and relationship issues with her boyfriend because she got in her own head too much.

There are some surprises and twists along the way that I wasn’t expecting and all in all, it’s a very positive book, some of the characters are so lovely I wish I could know them in real life and it definitely is worth a read if you’re ever worried about overthinking things.
