This book was short but also somehow felt too long? I listened in a single day but felt like I couldn’t find my footing in the story. The how/why behind the main character Sabrina having a dinner party with someone who is dead (Audrey Hepburn) is never explained, and the story isn’t told well enough to just be caught up in the magic of things. I did enjoy the jumping between the past and present, but Sabrina isn’t likable enough for me to really root for her in either timeline.
