Wow, just wow. After devouring Writers & Lovers, I can confidently saying reading more by Lily King is in my future. This book is about Casey, a 31 year old with a lot of student debt, grief from the recent unexpected death of her mother, a job waiting tables, and two men interested in her. 

I never thought I’d love a book with a love triangle, but King does it so beautifully. The men serve to contrast each other and to show us Casey’s strengths and her perception of herself. Mixed in with her other struggles, it feels like a story of Casey in a challenging season- not a romance novel. And let me also add, King brings fun and levity to this book despite the laundry list of bad things on Casey’s plate. 

Last, I must say this writing is beautiful and reflective while also concise and easy to read. I jotted down several quotes that I loved, not something I do with every book. This one is a real gem.
