I'm currently slumping, but I did listen to it in a day so there's that.

The journey Sadie goes on from getting screwed over in her corporate job to finding something she really wants to do was real for me. I understand she has some past family trauma but we didn't really know why she is so self-deprecating until a bit too far in, so by that point it was a bit overdone.

I do love some forced proximity (they are strangers who move in together because NYC housing costs). Jack is a superb book boyfriend, really top notch and must be protected at all costs. I really kept reading for him because he's IT. I wanted to give him a big hug this whole book.

3/5 🌶️
