Lauren, Olivia, and Melinda don’t know each other until they do, meeting and getting to know one another in a comedic and heartwarming way. Set in New York City this delightful story surprised me in the best way. Throughout I found myself wrong when I attempted to predict what was coming next. 

Amy Poeppel is a great storyteller and tells this story from multiple points of view. I love her characters’ uniqueness - names, jobs, dialogue - as they deal with life. The meaning of the title is fun. Family, friendship, career, grief, life transitions, divorce, parenting and forgiveness are themes for Poeppel’s characters.

I liked all the characters including Eveline (Lauren’s mom), Dan (Olivia’s dad), and Phillip (Leo’s father), people on the periphery that added humorous moments and also illustrated ordinary yet unexpected moments. The audio narrators (full cast) added to the enjoyment. This is a fun book and great audio listen that I would recommend to anyone who likes New York City settings, humor, or found family in their novels.
