I devoured this. I was so enamored with the characters and their individual lives. I loved the way the author put distinct personalities into each character and there were several moments that were extremely beautiful and resonated deeply with me, while others made me laugh out loud. as a new yorker I also loved the specific descriptions of the city and how vivid certain areas were in my mind. I especially loved the chapter about zoe and her “sugar daddy” experience; it was wholesome to see her complete a satisfying arc. I also thought the end of the book was very lovely and well executed.
