Wow! I just finished reading "Tell Me How This Ends" by Jo Leevers, and I couldn't wait to share my thoughts. The premise is totally unique, starting off with a job-seeking protagonist who's struggled to connect with others.

But get this—a chance encounter with a terminally ill patient and an unsolved family mystery changes everything. I found Henrietta's redemptive journey so touching, and can we talk about her parents? Total Dursley vibes! The twist at the end wasn't mind-blowing, but it definitely caught me off guard. And I'm always a fan when there is a lovable dog character, too.

But what really stole my heart was Henrietta's neurodivergent vibes—her blunt outlook and no-nonsense approach to life had me nodding along. Exploring the delicate balance between tact and honesty in end-of-life conversations was eye-opening. Give this one a read, mamas—it's a heartfelt journey you won't want to miss!
