Bennet has been adrift since her boyfriend Sam died. Sam dreamed that they’d have the perfect life together in NYC, but alone, she realizes the city isn’t for her. She doesn’t want to do anything—spend time with friends, work, or even have any fun at all.
When her roommate sets her up on a blind date, the very idea sends Bennet spiraling into a drunken, panicky mess. Luckily, Henry, the guy she ghosted, turns out to be tremendously sympathetic to what Bennet is going through. He offers to help her rediscover her passion for life.
Henry proposes that once a week, they get together—as friends—and explore a different activity. The hope is that they’ll find something that sparks enthusiasm, and happiness, in Bennet. They try tattooing, volunteering at an animal shelter, photography—even rappelling off a tall building.
The time she spends with Henry each week becomes a highlight for Bennet. But the truth is, if she’s ever going to be able to enjoy life, she needs to come to terms with her feelings surrounding Sam’s death, not to mention how she’s isolated herself from everyone.
This was a fun concept and the story was sweet and emotional. Henry was a definite catch as a book boyfriend. But I felt like during parts of the book, Bennet didn’t treat him well, which made me like her a little less. However, I still enjoyed the banter and chemistry between them.
