We follow Artie, a gay writer in New York, with alternating chapters when he is 30 yrs old in 1992 and in 2022 when he is 60. In the first timeline Artie is starting a relationship and has a bunch of friends - in the second he is feeling very alone. There‘s a lot to love in this book - found family & wonderful insights & reflections - but i felt it was trying to fit in a lot of characters & didnt have the space to make them all feel fully formed⬇️

Centique One of those books where it has all the ingredients but felt a bit misshapen. 3.5 stars from me - but if you need a book with a movement from melancholy towards new beginnings this is quite sweet and thoughtful. 6mo
