Love, love, love this book. Sometimes a book just hits you, and this one was a great read! I've been struggling with reading during the pandemic, but the world and I seem to be coming out of it. I could hardly put this one down.
The wonderfully written novel is about Casey, a 31-year-old woman who is broke, living in the back of a garage belonging to a friend or her brother, while she tries to earn some money as a waitress. And she is also trying to write a novel. The story is about this period in her live as she struggles with her creativity, her relationships, and her grief after losing her mother. So much is going on in her life and yet not all that much really happens in the book. The writing is fun, poignant, and thought provoking. Just really enjoyed this book.... can you tell? -June
P.S. And anyone who has been a waitress at some point in their life can relate to the restaurant scenes.

As you know, I will read anything that gets an I LOVE THIS BOOK from our blogger. So, I bought and read it (because I am too unmotivated to learn how to get books free on my Kindle) and am still wondering why she loved it so much, although I did like it. Maybe because it was your "first" post-pandemic isolation?? Anyhoo, I intend to review it before I discuss...and I'll still always read whatever our blogger "highly recommends."
Sometimes I can't explain why one book grabs me and others don't. Sometimes it's because I've been reading crappy books for a while and then land on a good one - and it glows in comparison. Sorry you didn't love it too.
