Phoebe Unfired by Amalie Jahn

3.0

Thank you NetGalley for an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review

This entire book - *chef's kiss*

Phoebe wasn't always a germaphobe. Not until she contracted covid which put her prematurely born brother toby in danger. Thus, began her journey of pathogen avoidance. She meets a sixty-year-old Walter who is suffering from anxiety. They hit it off immediately and help each other serving as therapists.

I love how mental health is portrayed here. The lengths Phoebe had to go through is truly heartbreaking. But there is something positive about this, the whole way the topic is dealt with is wonderful. The author approaches it with such care and sensitivity and spins a positive outlook on mental health.

Special shoutout to JP - top-notch character.
