Not My Problem

Product Information

i adored ciara smyth's first book, the falling in love montage, but this book hit me on a whole other level. Not My Problem is laugh out loud funny and full of heart – a coming of age novel that will stay with you long after the final page.

He has six years of experience in professional communication with clients, executives, and colleagues. I read it at the absolute perfect time; I had been struggling with realising I was a lesbian and accepting this label for myself. She’s 16 years old and fantasizes about an HEA with Kristen Stewart that’s sure to happen someday, she thinks dreamily. Here are a few new ways to delegate responsibility while maintaining a strong relationship and building trust between people.I understood how painful it is to experience friendship break-ups, yet we shall move on from toxicity and go on. s/ˌthat’s not ˈmy problem ( spoken, informal) used to show that you do not care about somebody else’s difficulties: Well, I’m sorry you feel that way, but I’m afraid it’s not my problem. I can’t say whether it was done perfectly because I’m lucky enough to have never been in such a situation. And if you want to know more about why The Falling in Love Montage means so much to me, I speak about it here. It’s definitely a step up from her first novel in that sense, and with how close Irish and Scots slang is (as well as some of our culture) I really appreciated all of Aideen’s snarky quips!

Many people hold onto this philosophy of only helping others when it fits “what it is that we think we should be doing”.I liked that this focused both on toxic friendships (I've been in one until recently, and this was uncomfortably recognizable) and healthy relationships. From the first page I knew my fears that it wouldn’t live up to The Falling in Love Montage or my (extremely high) expectations were pointless. This is tagged as romance on Goodreads and even the blurb seemed to revolve around the romantic premise, but where the fuck was it? I had so much fun with the audiobook of “The Falling in Love Montage” that I decided on listening to the audiobook for this one as well and I was not disappointed.

Throughout the book she’s dealing with some pretty shitty situations, but she’s also really compassionate and empathetic in her own sarcastic way. Though I wish that no-one ever needed to use them, I think the inclusion of a main character going to a foodbank was something that is sadly very necessary to see in young adult, and also very realistic, and once again Ciara Smyth has managed to find the perfect balance between hilarious writing, sweet sapphic romance, and hard-hitting plotlines.By accepting all cookies, you agree to our use of cookies to deliver and maintain our services and site, improve the quality of Reddit, personalize Reddit content and advertising, and measure the effectiveness of advertising.
