This book was SO FUN to read. While there are serious topics mentioned (cancer, alcoholism) Jess, Carter, Nikki, Bryce, and more have so much fun playing the game and learning and unlearning the things they thought they knew about each other. It’s an homage to chosen families and communities that take care of each other. It’s heartwarming without being cheesy. And it’s funny! Highly recommend this hug of a book.
