The Lonely Fajita by Abigail Mann


The premise sounded interesting and it was marketed as "utterly relatable feel-good comedy".
Instead of utterly relating and feeling good I could only shake my head at Elissa's life and relationship choices and I wanted to shake her to make her wake up.
She leads a very problematic relationship, lets herself being exploited and treated horribly at work and the only thing she can think of is how she wants to go out dancing and drinking.
That was just sad.
I also feel like that she didn't get any support from family or friends. The idea of sharing space with an elderly lady was great, but wasn't done very well. 
Annie was the most interesting character, but I couldn't care less about Elissa's whining and feeling sorry for herself.
I was missing some major breakthrough and character development along the line and the ending was just unrealistic and silly.

Unfortunately not a contemporary novel that I can recommend, so 2 coffee cups out of 5.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
