Kayleigh's Thoughts
Equal parts messy and meaningful, Really Good, Actually captures the chaotic aftermath of divorce with biting humor and poignant truth. The female main character is undeniably a train wreck, but her spiraling decisions, dry wit, and existential unraveling make for a compelling read that mirrors the very real emotional whiplash of grief, identity loss, and reluctant independence.
A hilariously honest look at falling apart, figuring it out, and pretending you’re “really good, actually.”
