Thank you to Harlequin and Netgalley for the arc. This is my first Netgalley review.
I really enjoyed Definitely Better Now and rated it 4.5 stars. It was multi-layered and emotional with a focus on alcoholism and the death of a family member. While the topics were serious, there were bits of humor throughout. I found the journey through Emma's thought process interesting and think Emma's character development was successfully executed. I would recommend this book.

Thank you to NetGalley & Harlequin Trade Publishing for providing an e-Arc!

3.5.I really liked this book! It brings up serious topics that are not often discussed or written about. It was refreshing to see.

Story revolves around a young women, Emma in her 20s navigating life as a recovering alcoholic. She has reached the one-year mark and is now ready to put herself out there in the dating pool where she struggles to bring up this aspect of her life. Recovering from an addition is never easy and when life is thrown many obstacles, the journey is never linear.

This was an incredibly touching story especially because we don't often read about young people recovering from addiction. It offers a new perspective of sobriety. Although serious topics are brought up, this book also had comedy to lighten the load of reading such heavy topics. I loved reading in the pov of Emma. She is an over-thinker with a lot of self doubt and is hilarious but is not afraid to speak her mind. I think many of us can relate. What a refreshing read!
