Long and Short of it: An inspiring read that makes you look at your life differently.
Romance: Some
Spice Level: 1/10

This story was pretty deep when it comes to looking at your inner self and trying to figure out if you’re living authentically or not. I am a fellow Leo, so I resonated with Leah in this story. I also don’t follow astrology closely, so it was relatable to hear her skepticism about the idea.

I really enjoyed this book!! I’m excited for others to read it as well. Even though there is some romance in the book I wouldn’t put it in the Romance genre. I would definitely categorize it as Women’s Fiction.

I hope when you read this book that you will look inside yourself and ponder the things that Leah is trying to figure out herself. It gives you a great perspective on life. It’s so short. Live it to the fullest.

Leah is a doctor committed to serving her patients. Leah thinks she's content with her life until a sudden onset of vertigo causes her to question everything she knows about herself and her beliefs. What follows is an entertaining story of self-discovery as Leah learns to be a little more spontaneous and open-minded.

It was fun to read about Leah's travels and all of the delicious food she encounters. The romance was sweet though I wish it had a little more focus and chance to develop. Overall, a charming and unusual story.

Thank you to Putnam Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a copy.

Quite different from anything else I’ve ever read but not in a bad way. I really enjoyed it and will have to read it again

I really liked the different locations that this book takes us to! I felt like I was on a trip around the world with the main character. Rosen wrote a captivating story. I enjoyed it all. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I loved this book. It was magical. At its core, this is a story about letting go of rigid beliefs and opening yourself up to life’s unpredictability. It’s about love in all its forms: familial, romantic, and most importantly, self-love. The emotional depth, layered storytelling, and perfectly paced character arcs make it one of those rare reads that leaves you feeling both undone and whole.

This was a refreshing mix of self-discovery, humor, and a touch of magic. I loved how Leah’s skepticism and the people around her made the story both grounded and swoon-worthy. It’s a fun, reflective ride with a dash of romance and loads of emotions.
