How can I even describe how wonderful this book is? Most of the time I stay away from 3rd person omniscient but this is an example of a WELL DONE pov. I adore Elizabeth Zott. This story is told perfectly, everything revealed at e x a c t l y the right time.

Wow, I really enjoyed this book. I think people who enjoyed “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” would like this. 

Just know that it’s SAD. It’s literary fiction, NOT comedy or romance at all. And it begins with the memory of a workplace sexual assault. Check TWs. 

It’s multi POV. I especially enjoyed the dog getting a POV too.
