This was well-written but I just kind of felt meh about it. Maybe it's the timing for me.

Oh William! Oh Lucy! Oh Elizabeth!
I loved this book. I loved this series of books. I loved the characters and the story that each of them have to tell. There is a bit of a sadness wrapped around these stories. It is so human, it is so normal, it is so natural.
When you sit down with an Elizabeth Strout book, it is like sitting down with a friend over coffee. You just feel comfortable enough to just sit and chat about anything and everything.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group for this advanced readers copy. This book is scheduled to release on October 19, 2021.

Almost 100% tell, don't show. It works... until it doesn't. It became tedious. I guess it's literary fiction, so it's character-based rather than plot-based, but it's not quite deep enough to make it work. This one just wasn't for me.
