I really enjoyed this. I liked the writing style and I flew through it. I was really rooting for Casey throughout and it always felt hopeful even as she dealt with grief, debt and her struggles to write her novel. Her journey felt cathartic and I found the ending really satisfying. I also loved that it was set in the 1990s because it meant that the relationships were much less immediate, often relying on answerphone messages.

I don’t think I’ve read a book that has made me feel this deeply in a long time.
