This book was difficult for me because I did not find the main character, Vanessa, likable at all. Being late is not, and should never be, a personality trait. How she got to be 27 with a career and loyal friends must be a testament to her other qualities - loyal, positive, and enthusiastic.

And while she might be a great yogi, she certainly drove me crazy in every other way. She's too naive yet overbearing (really, lecturing her sister on not taking lucrative job because of money when Vanessa had her own degree paid for by their father is ridiculous). She manages to spout some holier-than-thou nonsense yet screws her friends over (not showing up to work) and herself over (running with a bum knee, repeatedly).

Overall, I liked the cover....I liked how loyal the friends were to Vanessa...and the happy ending was nice.

Thank you Lake Union Publishing for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Her friends and family, while admirable, keep coddling her. She needs to wake the EFF up and start being responsible for herself and her poor decisions."
