The only word I can use to describe this book is “tedious.” The storyline is all over the place and by the end I was wondering what the point of it all was. This is my first book by this author. I suspect it may also be my last. 😖

I think that I shall never see
A sight as lovely as that first cup
Of tea.
In the morning.
Poems are hard.

I liked, but didn‘t love this. Given how much I usually love books by this author, that‘s not much of a criticism. This was a bit predictable, but I enjoyed how it explored friendships and the ways they change & shift from college into adulthood. I also love how De Los Santos manages to take lovable characters, throw them in with thoroughly unlikeable characters, and make you understand & feel for them all so deeply by the end of the book!
1. Variation on my name—a college friend used to call me this (but my middle name isn‘t Jean)
2. Technical Writer at a credit union
3. I have no extra quarantine time—I‘m working 40 hours/week, just from home instead of the office.
4. The tagged book, also Magic for Liars by Sarah Gailey (audio), Immortal Diamond by Richard Rohr
5. Comfort reads! Breathing. Silly Netflix shows. Walks in my neighborhood. Guided prayer apps & podcasts.

I should be folding the clothes. 😬 🙊 #oops
A killing-time-at-the-airport pick that turned out really well. Sympathetic characters at a crossroads with each other. An exploration of friendship, love, connection, the ways these things change over time and the ways that they form a constant in life. The final section is set in the Philippines (how they get there is a little contrived, but a minor complaint). The descriptions of the country and the food make me long to go there myself.
#backtoreading A story about the bonds we make and break, about second chances, and different perspectives. Oh #thosepeskycliques
