A fun, lighter read that still contains depth. Early on, I felt like this was Curtis Sittenfeld-esque, and it has that rom-com flare. However, I actually liked this author more. She developed the characters in depth, built the relationships solidly and didn’t use the setting to prop up her story. Solid rec.

Thanks to Macmillan Audio & NetGalley for the advanced copy. The narrator on the audiobook, Ferdelle Capistrano, really made this shine.
