I loved this book so much, I think it might be my favorite of the year so far. I listened to the audiobook and I can’t recommend it enough. The narrator captures Isa’s voice so well, and she’s honestly hilarious. I don’t understand all the reviews saying this book had no plot because so much happens, maybe they just mean there isn’t a plot arc? Anyways, I truly didn’t want it to end; I just want Isa to talk to me about her life forever. I was devastated to learn that the author hasn’t published any other novels. It kind of felt like a Jane Austen novel if Jane Austen was a NYC party girl. I desperately need this to be an HBO series and I need Alexa Demie to play Isa.
