Absolutely loved this. Started to listen to have something light and fun to enjoy between podcasts and found myself wanting to listen to this over anything else. I think what stands out the most for me is the crisp, concise, and just-playful-enough writing, a master class in omniscient narration. I loved the characters, which the author has developed with care and complexity and whom I feel like I know. I have such affection for so many of the characters—I started to list them and there were too many—and will be thinking about this book for a long time.
