Between non-fiction historical readings and a historical fiction like 1970, this book could help the worlds in my head calmer. Light and easy, not much to chew, but still enjoyable to read, this book can give you a relaxed feeling. For me and for now, it’s quite enough.

Well that was extremely dark.
This cover is slightly misleading because this is a mildly dark book at times. I did find it really fun, especially since I caught most of the references to books (even ones that weren't explicitly named but just referred to by cover or plot). It had an ending I wasn't expecting, especially considering that cover, which I appreciate. I maybe wanted a little bit more clarity or twist about this new guy she became obsessed with, but ultimately I would rather the ending be left as it is than be over-explained in a way I would find unsatisfying. Regardless, interesting and a fun book of this genre. I was kind of skeptical going in but glad I read!
I didn't much care for any of the characters, but I did appreciate Victoria's regular imaginings of the backstories of people she sees in the café. I also appreciated the zinger of an ending.
A woman dealing with the intrusive thoughts in her head, for an entire novel. Predictable, yet still a shocking ending. I’ll be thinking about this book for a while, about what it means to feel guilty, to feel love, and to find yourself in any relationship. I fell in love with the words “book” and “reading” throughout this read - they savor a different, more delicious sound in my head now. 5 starts isn’t right, just because the book was a little too… weird.
Wow this book was all over the place and odd but such a fun book for audible on a road trip.
Did not connect with the main character.
