I DNFed this at 25%, I could not get into the storyline or the characters. This could be a great book I just don’t think it’s right for me.

I throughly enjoyed this authors first book and eagerly devoured this offering. A contemporary novel, in every sense that tackles our current lives in the midst of this pandemic and how we connect with ourselves and each other. Brimming with dry wit, I couldn’t put this book down. Read this immediately.

This novel is unique and feels contemporary. So contemporary, in fact, that it even includes COVID-19! Overall I enjoyed this novel and think it weaves in multiple storylines well: we have the intersection of race and sex, tech start-ups, marriage and friendship in your 20s, as well as self-esteem and identity. There's nice pacing and good humor, and the plot is truly original. This is a personal taste issue, but I did find myself craving more direct action from the narrator in the middle of the book in terms of her acting on her frustrations or questions about Cyrus and his behavior. Overall, though, I still enjoyed the novel and definitely recommend it.
