Later Bloom A Novel

Aubrey's about to turn 28, and she's still never had a real relationship. No girlfriend moments, no "I love you," no first fights, nothing. She says it doesn't bother her, but people aren't buying it. She's dated some people and she's starting to wonder whether the problem is them or her. So she packs up and spends a year in Nova Scotia helping her aunt keep an old, creaky inn running, hoping the change will sort things out. The way she sees it, things either shift for good or stay exactly as they are, and that gap between the two keeps her up at night. The story flips between past and present to dig into what it means to bloom late, what it really takes to find "the one," and how much of who we are comes from the love (or lack of it) we've experienced. This book is definitely worth a read. It's made for the overthinkers, the once who feel everything deeply all the time, who want to give love to other people but haven't quite figuerd out how.
