Rules of Civility by Amor Towles
5.0

Wow. This book came to me at the perfect moment. It exactly captures the sentimental nostalgia of Auld Lang Syne— how fitting that the story opens and closes on NYE, the same holiday I found myself reading this. All week l've been ripe with wistful looks back at my year, taking an account of who I was with and how we
spent our days. "Rules of Civility" is all that, wrapped in the most gorgeous writing. AND I recently returned home from a romantic visit to NYC— the city is a glitzy main character here!
