This Close to Okay by Leesa Cross-Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a surprise read. I had heard about it all over the internet and people kept recommending it but I still didn’t really know enough about it to know what to expect. The entire time I read this book, I kept waiting for something terrible to happen. I has this constant anxiety about the other shoe dropping. There would be a big reveal. One of the people would turn out to be this evil/terrible person.
And it never happened.
There are reveals in the book. But honestly, these are real people with real flaws and messed up lives and nothing more than that. Having read so many weird, twisty books, I think I just couldn’t believe that until the book was over.
And it was such a kind, loving, generous book.
I really loved all the minutes I spent with it and find myself thinking about it and smiling even now.
