This was a shot of nostalgia straight to the veins.  It was social, cultural, and generational commentary wrapped up in a 90s canopy bed bow.  I laughed, I cried.  No seriously, I cried - I'm a sympathy crier and when the author (also the narrator) got choked up, I got choked up.    This is one of my top reads of 2023 and I desperately hope that my fellow millennials put this on their "most anticipated reads of 2024" lists.  This made me feel shots of nostalgia about things I hadn't thought of in years.  Like Pop-Up Video and Pentel RSVP pens (the superior pen for us with a penchant for fine-tip pens).  The writing was a beautiful combination of super relatable, like talking with an old friend over brunch, but also lyrical and poetic enough to pack a punch without getting drawn out.

I look forward to the publishing date so I can pick up a physical copy of the book.  To re-read and annotate, with my barely-visible Milky Gel pens.

Big thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for a free audiobook advanced listener copy.  All opinions are my own and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
