If I Never Met You starts off on the heavier side. Even going in knowing the synopsis, I wasn’t prepared for the emotional response that McFarlane expertly coaxed from. I struggled with Laurie’s suffering! I loved Laurie’s wit and humor from the very beginning. She was a perfectly relatable character with flaws that make her authentic. Without a doubt, Laurie will be on my list of fictional friends because I adore her! The pacing felt a bit slower in this […]

More importantly, I love that each story I have read by Ranald contains an underlying message of empowerment, self-love, and self-care. We all have been Gemma at some point. Flailing about, pretending to be an adult while we apply for job after job, still live with our parents and […]
