If you love character-driven novels, you will probably really enjoy this. I think this novel was well-written and the characters were very compelling. It was an interesting snapshot of the issues women in their thirties face, including dating, relationships, parenting, rejection, family dynamics, caring for aging parents, and friendships.

My god this wasn’t the book I planned to start 2023 with, but I’m glad it’s over with because I had a hard time enjoying this. Some of the more serious parts revolving her dad’s dementia and her grief of growing up were well-written, but everything else felt so pompous. I get it’s supposed to be satirical and making social commentary, but this wasn’t vibing for me. I was definitely not the I tended audience for this book. 🤷🏼‍♀️
