Read this if you like trivia games, attractive men, Project Runway, and confronting harsh realities about yourself and others while slowly slipping into an identity crisis.
Okay but really I straight up loved this book and it’s surprisingly fun in its thoughtfulness.
At first I was really put off by Dee’s toxic positivity. Luckily, the allure of Questie pulled me in long enough to realize that was the point. Dee’s character development serves as an excellent and approachable broach of tough topics while still being a joy to read.

As someone who struggles with people pleasing, I loved Dee’s character development. In the beginning, I would yell in my car as I listened because I was so stressed for her. But I trusted the process and knew she was on a trajectory towards growth. I also enjoyed the main cast all being fleshed-out with unique interests and perspectives. Some other things I appreciated: the whole narrative tackling discrimination, the wonderful descriptions of meals, conflict feeling organic, the trivia subplot, and the genuine friendship at the foundation of Dee and Teddy’s relationship.
Listening to Phillipa Soo’s narration was also a treat!
