Hollis and Susan are going through turbulence in their married lives and in their minds, and are grappling with keeping things together. What doesn't make things easy for them is ill-timed fate, which also puts their children David and Tilly in career crises. With a central theme of rediscovery and life alterations, the plot follows four characters looking to rebuild their lives. The characters are credible and incite likeability with their vulnerabilities, flaws, and blindspots. I loved how Thomas used different narratives and different voices for each character's chapters, such as future first-person, dialogues, third person, and so on, which make the pages all the more quirky. Despite being long, the book is quite a fun read. My thanks to Thomas, the publishers OTF Literary, and NetGalley for gifting me with a copy of this book.
