I enjoyed reading this book but it was extremely character-driven aka not much actually happens. The book is mostly spent on characters reflecting on the past and the hypothetical. That being said the characters are endearing and funny so it was worth the read. It just seemed like the plot had a lot of potential and I would've liked to see more of it.
