Alison Espach has written a standout novel that manages to be devastating and delightful at the same time. It’s a 'Read with Jenna' pick for a reason—it’s accessible but actually has something to say about why we stay alive.
Don't let the title fool you into thinking this is a lighthearted rom-com. It’s a heavy-duty look at a woman who has lost everything and finds a weird, accidental lifeline in a group of strangers. It's sharp, modern, and moves fast. If you're looking for a book that feels like a real conversation about the hard parts of life, this is it.
