The first half was super slow and I thought about giving it up, especially since I'm not a three's company person so that part was less enthralling than it would be if I knew the show, but then things got quite wacky and interesting in the last half so glad I stuck with it.
Bonnie Lincoln prefers to be left alone, spending her time at home watching the classic show Three’s Company. When Bonnie wins the lottery, she spends her money creating the set of Three’s Company, down to the last detail, in a remote area in the mountains. Once completed, she spends her days living as the various characters from the show. Bonnie’s friend Krystal tries to drag Bonnie back to her own life, but Bonnie is determined to run away from the baggage of her past and live in the comfort of her favorite show.
This novel definitely had a unique concept. I understand Bonnie went through a lot of trauma in her life, but I found it hard to like her. I kept hoping someone would step in and get her the help she needed. At a certain point, this story jumped the shark and became a little too much for me.
Many thanks to NetGalley for providing me an audio ARC of this book.

I thought this would be a fun, nostalgic little romp through the world of Three’s Company but it turned out to be unexpectedly serious and troubling. This is one of the more unique books I’ve read.
