A beautiful contemporary with accessible time-travel elements. Centers mainly on a woman in her 40’s in NYC, navigating her life and the choices she’s made and what life she wants to live.
Those that liked midnight library will like this, but I think this one is better.

A quirky love letter from a daughter to her father that also happens to be a clever time-travel tale. Only cried a lot.

This was far beyond anything I expected. Just cried so hard at the last chapters, especially knowing that writing the book was Straub’s way of wrestling with her own father’s eventual death, and knowing that he died a few months ago.
