Really enjoyable read. Good characters and a Good story. Well worth a read. Think others will. Enjoy
A girl living in the past. And the friends who do not want this kind of life for her anymore!
Libby London loves the 80s. Why, she even owns (profitable) vintage thrift store Pretty In Pink! But her friends somehow do not understand that she likes her life as she has it. No style change and definitely no new boyfriends! Nobody can do after Ollie, anyway.
But life has a way to move even the ones who are stuck the most. Libby´s store is in trouble, her friends plan her 33th birthday party and her reinvention, including some dates with them-chosen men, and her psychologist is determined to go further than her sleeping issues and hidden pain.
Because there is a lot of hidden pain in Libby.
Yay. Finally, finally the chick-lit that is not skin-deep and silly! This one is both fun and relatable. So, so good!
I get Libby, who is fighting hard, is kind and funny, and her own person - even if she has somehow stopped dreaming for future. She is very connectable, her pain is real, her issues are believable, her personality is very engaging. And she is fun! I have not laughed so much since Sophie Kinsella´s Becky Brandon, née Bloomwood. Libby might get well with Becky, now that I am thinking about it - Becky can get her quirks and overwhelm her pains with her unstoppable kindness, while Libby might get under Becky´s skin deep enough to recognize her hidden depths. Maybe :)
Anyway, I love this novel. Live long, Libby London!
