Thank you to NetGalley, HarpercCollins and One More Chapter for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Goodreads Synopsis
Lonely Fajita: a person who is suddenly and unwillingly single.
It’s Elissa’s birthday, but her boyfriend doesn’t seem to care much – and she’s accidentally scheduled herself a cervical smear instead of birthday drinks.
Then there’s her borderline-psychotic boss, the fact she’s not making but losing money at her internship, and her sinking feeling she might not really be in love.
At least you can’t be lonely if you’re not alone. Right?
But Elissa’s just-good-enough existence is about to change, with single life, redundancy and homelessness all on the horizon. Signing up to live with an elderly person in return for free bed and board suddenly looks like her best option.
Elissa has no idea that Annie will turn out to be a woman of secrets and swearwords, and that living with her is about to shake up everything Elissa thought her twenties should be…
Review
The Lonely Fajita is such a light-hearted and fun read! It was an incredibly well written book which had me laughing from the very beginning. I flew through this book and found myself enjoying the friendship that developed between Annie and Elissa, who were both relatable and realistic.
However, I found myself struggling investing in the characters and this story. I wanted more of how Annie and Elissa became so close. I wanted more of their day to day happenings. I felt that it jumped quite a bit and before I knew it they were more comfortable with each other. I also would have liked to have seen more about Lovr and the dates that she was supposed to be going on. We saw one date?
Overall this was a heart-warming and effortless read that I was looking for in these weird times! I look forward to reading more of Abigail Mann’s work!
Review: 3/5 stars
