The Overdue Life of Amy Byler by Kelly Harms
3.0
Good vacation or corona-shut-in read
As a stay-at-home-mom and substitute teacher, I found a lot of Amy's initial mindsets frustrating. But trauma is trauma, so I don't mean to judge how she deals with that, and she comes through with the right balance in the end. It was just sitting at times to read about her getting there. I really enjoyed Daniel's Latin jokes and had a hard time with everyone urging her towards casual sex, so maybe I'm too much of a need to fully appreciate the book about nerds. But it was a lot of fun, and the perfect read for right now.
