Another Marvelous Thing by Laurie Colwin
4.0
4 stars | This was my first work of fiction by Laurie Colwin. I read Home Cooking in late 2021 and was eager to dive into her novels.
I love that her writing is so easy and comforting. She'll fool you into thinking you're reading a sweet, domestic story, but in reality, all her characters behave poorly. But they are so endearing while they do it.
This one reminded me of Heartburn by Nora Ephron and Katherine Heiny's work. I was especially mesmerized by the chapter where Billy gives birth.
