I really enjoyed Love Lettering by this author, so I had high expectations for her next novel which were exceeded!

Nora and Will's story, set in Chicago, features an Airbnb-esque apartment, definitely a unique reflection of our time. The novel includes several additional themes (poetry, parental loss, progress vs. honoring tradition) with the most important: friendships can be found in the most surprising circumstances, and family is defined by love and support rather than by blood and genetics. The moment when the author explains the title's meaning - just 20 pages from the end - was completely worth the wait.

This is an open door romance with a moderate amount of details. Thank you to Kensington Books for the gifted ARC; all thoughts are my own.
