Five Things I Can’t Live Without, by Holly Shumas. The book is grown up fiction about a 29-year-old woman (Nora) struggling with her “meta-life”, her career, and her relationship. She’s quit her nonprofit job at the animal rescue and starts freelancing, helping people with their online dating profiles. But like with everything else in her life, when it doesn’t work out as great as she at first hoped, Nora begins to doubt that she’s doing the right thing. This doubt is what seems to permeate the rest of her life too, from her steady relationship with her boyfriend to the fact that she’s constantly living inside her head instead of in the outside world.
This book has got some really great reviews on Amazon, but to be honest my recommendation of it is somewhere along the lines of MEH. It definitely wasn’t bad and it obviously held my attention long enough for me to finish reading it, but I wasn’t all that interested. It was one of those books where I wanted to see how it ended, but I didn’t actually want to read it all the way through to get there.
