I loved this book so much, it was the most perfect holiday read! I completely binged half of it on the plane, and then throughout the rest of my trip I picked it up during every piece of spare time as I just wanted to find out where we were going with this!
I absolutely adored the character development of the FMC, especially how natural and realistic it felt. A lot of the themes and character development resonated deeply with me so I felt very connected to the story.
I have found reading books set during the Covid-19 Pandemic unsettling or upsetting at times, but I found that Sittenfeld used it well and perfectly navigated the nuance within many of our experiences during this time.
I’m excited to dive into the rest of her books!

The love story here was beautiful in all its messiness and flaws. I can’t help but applaud the balance Sittenfeld was able to strike between the MCs communicating like adults and miscommunicating like humans. Truly just delightful from beginning to end!
