This is a really interesting slice of life novel that functions as a hybrid between contemporary lit fic and romance.  Narratively i would say it follows the structure of a modern romance, but the topics where we go deep are a. alcoholism recovery (no relapse, that is not a point of tension here) and b. Parental alcoholism/grieving death of a parent.  I thought t that Emma’s anxious internal monologue was really relatable and well written, and i liked the representation of her struggles with AA, an organization that has really struggled to modernize while also remaining the most consistent and available resource for alcoholism recovery.  It was a thoughtful and well written book, and the audiobook narration, which i read in tandem with the physical book, was well done.
