ABOUT THE BOOK
Pearl O’Reilly is twenty-seven (nearly twenty-eight). She likes salmon pink, the number three and going to the pub with her best friend Una the same night each week. Thanks to her OCD, her other routines – from counting her way downstairs to obsessively washing her hands – pose more of a problem.
But that’s all about to change. Because it’s time for Pearl to say to hell with it – starting with the gorgeous naked man in her bed this morning…
MY REVIEW
Pearl O’Reilly’s incredibly difficult journey across the world to follow a stranger is intriguing as she finds herself on the way.
Pearl is a young woman with OCD. Her familiar routine changes when she wakes up to discover a naked man in her bed. Talk about a game changer. It’s in that moment when her life takes a chaotic turn that leads her on a journey of self-discovery.
Pearl’s struggles are exhilarating and exhausting, and her escapades are hilarious and courageous. What really struck a chord with me was how this book goes beyond just romance. Pearl’s relationship with her best friend, Una, adds the perfect splash of warmth, humor, and relatability, and their dynamic is incredibly funny and meaningful.
As we follow Pearl’s funny and crazy antics, we also dive deep into her inner turmoil. The author does a truly inspiring job portraying Pearl’s journey toward embracing life’s unpredictability. I found it refreshing and empowering to see a character face her challenges with such authenticity.
If you’re looking for a read that’s both entertaining and insightful, add this one to your list. I promise you won’t regret it.
Thank you to Ms. Frances for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
