What I’m reading now on vacation in Kauai. Great book and nice distraction from all the craziness!

Really chuffed about this review, which, unlike the knee-jerk hated it / loved it Goodreads-binary that is our cultural norm, really engaged with Mischa's novel actively and substantively, and came away with a nuanced appreciation and critique of it.
