A missing dog in Georgia sets Amy Webb on an adventure away from her tumultuous marriage and lack-luster personal life and towards a journey of self-discovery and joy.
Tart, emotionally attuned ... Grodstein has a knack for breezy, mordant observations about midlife disconnection and discovery. Her Georgia, too, feels pleasingly specific, though it can also read as one more exotic backdrop for white-lady self-actualization.
Amy’s journey is less about finding a dog and more about finding herself, though dog lovers (and all others) will find much pleasure in this charming story.
