I had no idea that urban planning/historic preservation romance novels were a thing, but I‘m 1000% here for them! This was so sweet.
I like how the author provides recommendations for other books in the same location/setting
pickNerdy urban planners bantering about the thing they love while also, ahem, discovering mutual pants feelings for one another is really just my jam.
pickThis review is for the ARC.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. But, I had some problems; I felt like the book just kind of pushed me into the deep end of the pool and expected me to keep up. Also, the whole structuring if the book was weird to me and threw me off a bit. And upon completion, my thought was “cute, like a poor man‘s The Kiss Quotient.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved this graphic novel. Author Roz Chast explains the ways of the city to her suburban children. As a former NY'er I got a chuckle at her spot on observations.
So every time I hear the word #Uptown, it makes me think of this parody of "Uptown Funk" (I hate that song, but the parody is FANTASTIC)... I know it's not a new thing but it never fails to make me laugh whenever I hear it. You're welcome for getting it stuck in your head again ??
