I can't believe this is Marianne Cronin's debut novel. The stories of Lenni and Margot are going to be forever emblazoned in my mind - they're filled with wit, hope, love, and heartbreak. I hope you pick up this book that - in my opinion - hasn't been talked about enough. Easily sitting pretty at the top of my favorites I've read this year. I can't wait until this author pens another beautiful story.

- forced story, didn't feel organic
- bored until halfway until Margot's story started to take shape
- Lenni's story is quite underfilled
- pushing the connections between all the characters (like what was the purpose of the Temp & the man in the ER)
