4.5

I really liked this one. It was a quick and easy read. I loved that some of it was epistolary, I love that in books. The audiobook narrator was the same as Funny You Should Ask by Elisa Sussman and I got a lot of those vibes from this one, especially the celebrity x non-celebrity relationship. This story had a big focus on COVID which I wasn't really expecting.

No one outright died from COVID so at least there is that.

I would purchase this one for my own shelves as I enjoyed myself while reading. Also, it was very realistic with peeing/pooping and I liked that it was included.

When she wakes up after sex having to fart/poop at his house, I liked the realisticness of it, it made me chuckle
