Thanks to Little, Brown and Company and NetGalley for providing me an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and feedback are my own.

This was a very quick read for me and I can't say I was bored, but I also can't say this book said much of anything. I feel like slice-of-life literary fiction that isn't *about* anything is very in vogue recently, and I can get down with that sometimes. But those books do actually have something to say. Here, I didn't particularly like either of the characters or feel like I got to know or sympathize with them, and there wasn't much of a plot to fall back on.

At the end of the day, I didn't feel too let down because this book wasn't that long, but I probably won't be going around recommending this to anyone.
