An entertaining romp of two older women living new lives in New York- while sometimes the characters were not believable, they were fun and the various “Why is this happening!” scenarios made me giggle.

Sadly, the delivery of such a fabulous synopsis really fell short for me. Cate Kay and her personas felt so one dimensional to me, which made the multiple other perspectives less impactful/meaningful to gain insight about Cate. Also,

why wouldn’t you check if your best friend and life muse is dead or not?? It’s not like the Internet wasn’t around, this was so implausible!
