Compared to the likes of Eleanor, Rosie, Ove, and Bernadette, I was expecting a lighthearted comedy, but what I got was a gripping, emotional story about joy, love, grief, and hope. Yes, there were some very funny moments, but this novel was incredibly moving and, at times, heartbreaking. I found myself laughing out loud and also wiping away tears. This was an unforgettable read that had me captivated until the very end. Just a beautiful debut novel.
Thank you to NetGalley and Henry Holt & Company for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I guess the author was trying to explore the importance of womanhood and all the nuances around being a strong woman.
