This story reads like a conversation. It is not filled with drama and action, but raw human emotion and interaction. I’ve never read prose like this before and I loved it. I listened to the audio book and found myself giggling at my desk at the end of Chapter 2.
I’ll now be buying the physical copy because I need to read this again and desperately need to make notes!
Two of my favourite lines:
1. “If you were a musician, you got to be viscerally magical.”
2. “When I’m talking to you, I’m a funnier and smarter version of myself because you are funny and smart.”

Sally was pretty bland and I feel like I don't really know her. She is painfully insecure and not conversationally funny or witty. There wasn't really charming banter which you might expect from a book with this title and a character that works for their version of SNL.
Noah was ok.
This story did also really strongly feature the Covid19 pandemic in the second half.
