4/5 ⭐
This book hit a spot in my heart. I could see so much of myself in the main character. I cried a little because I could relate to some parts of her life. I wasn't expecting it. I thought it was a great book.

I might be too old to enjoy this novel. It's not bad, just kind of sophomoric, by which I mean the narrator (and maybe the author?) feels wise and worldly to herself, but to an old lady like me, she just seems so...young. She's got such conflicted ideas of what it means to be a grown-up, and I get that this is the point, but I'm not sure it's all that interesting to me. Maybe if I had a "home town" or an affinity for New York I could connect more.
I'm using a very minor procedure on my shoulder blade this morning as an excuse for a mini readathon this afternoon! My plan is to finish the tagged then start on The Bandit Queens, which I only have for one more day on a skip-the-line Libby loan. The other two are for if I need a break. Hopefully I can find a comfortable reading position that doesn't stretch anything that shouldn't be stretched or compress anything that shouldn't be compressed.🤞
