A pure delight. Had me laughing out loud at several points. Loved the references to penuche and Sarah, Plain and Tall. While a 40 year old man who’s on tiktok would be a red flag to me, I love that Elinor made him charming.

I have ALWAYS enjoyed this author and this one did not disappoint. Funny, well written, great story, and you don't want to put it down! It has all of the elements.

Yawn, and such an unlikable protagonist

Really enjoyed this witty, snark, ultimately joyous novel of an attorney under house arrest after indecent exposure! Highly recommended.
