This is a literary story, so if you're looking for a cozy read -- look elsewhere. Still, the characters and circumstances feel real. It also evokes emotions on both ends of the spectrum in a way only great storytelling can.

Wow, very rarely do a finish a book and immediately want to turn back to the first page and start again. What a fun, important book. The idea of recommitting to every stroke is going to stick with me for a long time to come. I loved the way the narrative jumped between characters, such fun writing. I laughed, I cried, I felt seen. Just as Elizabeth’s watchers liked her show, this story made me feel capable and heard. Will be one I reread for sure
