When I first read the synopsis for 10 THINGS I CAN SEE FROM HERE, I knew I had to read it. If you've been following the blog for awhile, you might know about my long struggle with social anxiety, something I don't talk about that much. This book immediately intrigued me because I knew I would be able to relate to it. 
 Unfortunately, I did not get along with Maeve, the heroine, or the book itself. I found her to be more pessimistic and negative rather than anxious, which just rubbed me the wrong way, making it hard for me to root for her. I'm sure there are other types of anxiety that can be similar to Maeve's, but the way she was written makes her seem more paranoid than anything. Her anxiety also seems somewhat forced in the way that there are constant facts pored into the text about how many people die from this or from that instead of genuine worries. 
 Another huge issue I had with this book is the stream of consciousness writing style. It reads like diary without the dramatic details, and the large paragraphs that go off into tangents really slow the pacing down. I got bored with the irrelevant information and lengthy stories that didn't add anything to the plot. While it is reminiscent in the way anxiety speaks in your head, it just didn't make for a good narrative. 
 The romance had potential, but the convenient instant connection just wasn't that believable. In terms of the other relationships, I think the other characters acted as a pretty good support system as the book progressed even though there was a lot of family drama. 
 Overall, I think if you have patience for a novel that strongly focuses on the inner thought process of one character you might enjoy this one.
