In this literary work, Sellew writes a romantic book on forbidden desires. A young woman, given refuge by a friend named Lucas, finds comfort in the Hamptons while writing her novel; escaping from New York City to the Hamptons should have been an inspirational experience. Instead, it causes her to become distracted alone in the neglected. Her past lovers’ appearances exacerbate her situation. She struggled to understand love and its expectations. Navigating her relationship and figuring out herself send her into a downward spiral as she strives to please the boys, with her body image becoming a top priority.
Lover Girl’s plot is intriguing, and some people would find it relatable. Although I read the book to the end, I craved more details to immerse myself in the world. The character lacked depth. I felt like the book came to an end quickly. She didn’t do any internal checks, fully understanding herself and why she felt she needed to seek validation externally. I’ll recommend this book to romance lovers.
