Here's the thing: I am very tired.

Not sleepy, precisely. But fatigued. Overworked. Simply exhausted.

This is an important caveat because of what is to come in this review.

To put it simply, I do not have the energy to put up a front. No snarky persona will ensue. I will not be cracking jokes at the expense of this book or anything else.

And all that leaves is...gag...sincerity.

So I have to say my real and true thoughts about this book, and my real and true thoughts are that I read it nearly two months ago and took no notes and found it not particularly memorable, and so I only have one real monster of a cheesy thought to send your way:

This book is nice because it concludes there's someone for everyone. Even the world's most hard to like people can fall in love and go to New York and go on a quest and otherwise live out their best rom-com-y dreams.

And that's nice.

Bottom line: I need to go into a coma. Nothing extreme. Just like...two weeks of intense rest and no work.

i feel like the peak of human existence would be being a middle-aged woman in a suburban book club in the early 2010s.

this book gave me that experience.

do you ever find a book on your shelves and have absolutely no memory of reading it? to the point of questioning whether you even did?

yeah. that.
