Honesty is the best policy& except maybe when it comes to marriage in this brilliant novel about the high price of perfection from bestselling author Camille Pagán. All thoughts and opinions are my own.A Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestseller. **I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. If you haven’t had a chance, make sure to read I’m Fine and Neither Are You by Camille Pagán ( my review) as well! I mean… you may as well just pick up the rest of her backlist titles and thank me later. Learning to let other people in and recognizing vulnerability isn’t necessarily a terrible thing is an important concept to take away from this beautiful piece of fiction. Ultimately, I highly recommend this delightful story. Right up to the end, I was tied up in angsty knots, biting my nails wondering how everything was going to play out. I found myself barking with laughter, disturbing the toddler and her stuffed animals earning myself a stern “shushing.” When I wasn’t laughing, I was surprised by how truly invested I was in Annie’s happiness. My absolute favorite parts of the book were the responses on the community message boards. Each of the side characters was beautifully penned, their quirks forming a community that feels authentic. The relationships Annie navigates are enjoyable and not limited simply to her romance with Jon. Readers have the pleasure of watching Annie’s small changes throughout diary entries, emails, and letters and I truly found it satisfying. She was incredibly sweet, charming, and her eccentricities made her instantly relatable for me. This Won’t End Well is one of those books that I found impossible to put down. Pagán has written another clever, engaging, and relatable story. So she must decide: Is another shot at happiness worth the risk? She's pretty sure letting anyone get close won't end well. Then Jon reappears-and he wants her to join him in France. Soon Annie has let not one but two new people into her life.
And if keeping Harper safe requires teaming up with Mo, a maddeningly optimistic amateur detective, who is she to mind her own business?
Yet when Harper moves in next door, Annie can't help but train a watchful eye on the glamorous but fragile young woman. But after her fiancé, Jon, asks for space while he's gallivanting around Paris, Annie decides she needs space too-from everyone. It's bad enough that her boss sabotaged her chemistry career and her best friend tried to cure her with crystals. No new people: that's Annie Mercer's vow. Genres: Fiction, Literary, Women, Family Life, General, Contemporary, Family & RelationshipsĪn ingeniously witty novel about the risks-and rewards-of opening your life to new people by Amazon Charts bestselling author Camille Pagán.
