I loved this book. You might not like this book if you don't love to read. Fortunately, the target market for this book are readers, which is convenient, because if the target market was non-readers there might be a problem.
I'm almost offended by how similar this protagonist is to me. Single woman raised as an only child by a single mother, no father growing up. Has cat. Loves books. Would rather be reading. Schedules daily tasks to make sense of chaos. Obsessed with trivia. We even both have degrees in Art History.
Where's my Tom?!? More importantly, where's my secret bank account?!?
