5 ⭐️
Edited: I have thought about this book often sine I read it. It’s not perfect, but am adding it to my super selective 5 reads anyway.
4.5 ⭐️
*Audiobook
I laughed, I cried. Ha. I haven’t truly just enjoyed a book this much in years. Also it’s fantastic for a debut author. I cannot wait to read her next novel. (And oh, Six Thirty! - the best).
I highly recommend the audio version as Miranda Raison is the perfect narrator for this. I want to listen to more of her readings as well. I am sure the physical book flows really well too. Choose either version, but don’t miss it.
