This was an excellent book about grief, dogs, New York, and writers. Lots of writers!
I absolutely loved it and read it in two sittings, it's short and there's never a dull moment. It's all about the characters, specially the narrator, her thoughts on many subjects, from writing workshops to technology in novels, all types of ruminations, this is what made the book exceptional.
Definitely one the the best books I've read this year, it was different, fresh, wonderful, even with its somber tone. Highly recommend it!
NOTE: this book won the 2018 National Book Award (well deserved!), here's the author's acceptance speech

Fantastic to hear. Thanks for the reminder to place a hold.
You had me at “dogs”! Great review Carol! 😊
I didn’t like this one as much as you did but I loved the dog! I enjoyed your review and happy you loved it 💖
