I had a good time with this book. It was easy and engaging while also being well written and reflective. Certainly a lot of women will be able to relate to a lot of things in this book, me included.

The theme of the book is ghosting, but not just in dating but the ghosting that happens in friendships that have gone on for too long or just had a dynamic change, and the ghosting that happens when a loved one gets dementia. I think that red thread was done very well and tied the story together in a beautiful way.

It was funny in places, sad in others, and to be fair a bit generic and typical-millennial-thirtysomething-single-woman-with-crazy-mother-and-devilmaycarebestfriend in more than a few instances. I enjoyed it.
