A novel about becoming more the person you're meant to be following an untethered, sardonic young woman who falls for an older man and begins to lose herself.
Allison is an able and gifted storyteller, looking back on this time with a kind of awe that she passes onto the reader as she unspools her quiet story with heart, humor, and hard-earned wisdom.
Haphazard ... Allison’s wry humor and searching nature make her a companionable narrator, but the plot sputters as the focus jarringly shifts ... A mixed bag.
A novel with many threads that never quite come together ... This hard-to-pin-down novel tackles too much...without enough charm or depth to pull it off. While a few of these topics might have made for an engaging quarterlife-crisis novel, none of them has room to breathe here, and the author gives too much space to subplots that don’t add much ... A story that falls flat.
