May or may not be dense, but it wasn’t that deep.

This book made a 9 hour flight with crazy turbulences even longer and stressful.

I do want to give it another chance… I think.

It took a while to get used to no quotations around conversations. But, after about two chapters it’s easier. This book is perfectly titled. I’ve never read a book that was so weirdly normal. It made me smile and shake my head. It’s middle of the road for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️
