More than a story about an introvert, I found this is really about a woman finding connection with her grandpa and also some new relationships along the way.  Mallory's grandma unexpectedly leaves a cottage to her with the expectation that she also takes care of her grandpa. So she heads there to figure out what she'll need to do. Once there, she finds lots of unexpected connections and emotions. This was a light, fun read that was also about navigating grief and figuring out where you belong - A story about a connection with grandparents always pulls at my heartstrings, and I also liked the bonus layer of remote work as that's also a life I know well. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the look at this September 2025 release.
