Set during a city-wide summer blackout in Dallas, interior designer Elizabeth gets locked in her office building with her ex, Tom.

The wildest thing about this book is how intensely irredeemable the male protagonist is. He's hyper-masculine and obsessed with pushing Elizabeth's boundaries (making her share past trauma that she really doesn't want to talk about while withholding all details about his own past, etc).

I liked the audiobook narrator a lot--she was very believable in the role of buttoned-up 90s girlboss. I thought it was a compelling story/time capsule if not a romantically appealing one.
