Jennifer started as a gymnast but is now an actress and a writer. Her life in New York influenced her book – which she describes as a cross between 50 Shades of Gray and Sex in the City. Her writing started young with her own fan fiction based on TV shows. Now she has been a writer, producer and one of the stars. This helped with her book that started as a one woman show.
I was pleased to find that this book is an empowering story about a character taking control of her life, especially towards the end of the book. Too many times, Dana engaged in sexual acts while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, which brought into question whether her judgement was impaired while making decisions that were out of the norm for her. It seemed to me that she was letting things happen to her rather than making conscious choices to forge her own path, and she begins to realize this. As you can tell, I was deeply connected to the character. The fantastic writing makes it easy to form a bond and I was certainly invested.
Overall , Year of the What? by Jennifer Lieberman I devoured this in one day (in-between family gatherings and kids). I couldn't put it down. The relationship between each character and their individual friends is beautiful. The development of their relationship together feels *just so good*. Read if you love romantic comedy genre, if you love New York, if you love sharp and funny banter, if you like a delicious slow burn with a fun twist on some classic tropes, if you're wild for fun sunshine/grumpy books.
