i wanted an easy, beach read with all the summer vibes and this book delivered it well. i do think the audience is geared towards older women, specifically women experiencing menopause. i couldn’t relate to Rocky all that much , our FMC, because i haven’t reached that part of life yet. understandably though, change is hard and this book makes it apparent.

There's a high you get when you complete an almost-perfect book and know you will forever chase that feeling—this is one of those books for me. It was strange, beautiful, hilarious, crude, and wonderful in every way. I've never seen the chaotic interior of my brain represented in print before, and my goodness, it is gratifying. I loved Newman's previous novel We All Want Impossible Things and praise it often. Sandwich will join its oft-recommended ranks, as well as be a repeat read for me.
