Ms. Demeanor
by Elinor Lipman
⭐️ finished: 1/19/23
⭐️ rating: 8/10
⭐️ takeaway: Former lawyer Jane Morgan finds herself under home confinement for six months after a prudish neighbor calls the police on her for engaging in some *ahem* intimate acts on the terrace of her Manhattan apartment. She eventually learns of another resident in her building under home confinement, and after a few false starts and a friends-with-benefits arrangement, they fall in love (yay!). Along the way, there are interesting side plots like her fixation with the woman who reported her and the Polish royalty she used to nanny, making TikTok videos of recipes from the 1800s, and tension with her twin sister who is always just a little bit more “perfect.” This was a fun read with an interesting premise and a happy ending!
