Despite his passion for baking, his cat, and his classics degree, constant self-doubt and second-guessing have left him a curdled, directionless mess. Paris Daillencourt is a recipe for disaster. There’s a lot to unpack here, so I’m going to do something I don’t normally do, and quote from the book blurb to set the scene: Rather, it’s the story of a young man living with chronic, undiagnosed, and untreated anxiety who slowly falls apart and then starts to put the pieces back together, with a romantic subplot and a very tentative HFN.
