i am 69 years old and this book is about 30 somethings. a tiny bit of it was unrelatable for me but mostly it's about a lovely human named daphne who is trying to land, to find her place in the world. she goes from being buttoned up, literally and figuratively, to opening up, blossoming and healing. she meets lovely people along the way who befriend her and encourage her to be herself. there is nothing new, theme wise, in the story, but it's incredibly entertaining. oh and did i mention hot? daphne's love interest, miles, is definitely a guy we'd all like to have met. or meet. oh, and daphne is a librarian. if you've read any of my other reviews, i gravitate towards libraries and librarians. this book delivers. including a huge read-a-thon. and there are some moments outdoors, with beaches and dunes and lakes and kayaks and lavender farms that are delicious. i listened to the audio book and the narrator, julia whelan, was excellent. i am going to explore more of her projects.
