| I feel like The Paper Palace was like this. |
| Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman |
| Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple |
I think I am the only person who loved the first part of the book, then was like, Really? at the end. But I did love the beginning. |
I really disliked this book. Briefly Perfectly Human is really fascinating. |

Mrs. Pollifax series by Dorothy Gilman
I highly recommend this series. It’s about a grandmother who is bored with her life and feels she needs more excitement and purpose, so she goes to the CIA and volunteers as a spy. The writing is great and they’re a delightful romp. https://www.amazon.com/Unexpected-Mrs-Pollifax-Book-ebook/dp/B00HP3Q51S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=2A0M2I9B1O5OX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.9NRp9_l5qT38mJrPbIteG6q0sq3Fq6OaE4RhOT2WndWrcHo7Mozb6eyBUOI4jLH0QvKzDakrxx5wtYxq9dcdjtzh3SzNmmxlJr_qHHzBWIp0xR83d6J_FhGVyvn9Sb_BgtScZSEWj2EAL7VJZruR3Nt7paUe3HG99us8TQcS-EJCGukzIrFVWAkGaWKVM5OZ-Qdq6_LkHXKR2Z9H8VddBQ.JXgJVaI7OO36WP25om1Zd8Yltz6B0LdoBL3kjUiVaUQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=mrs+pollifax&qid=1774292713&s=digital-text&sprefix=mrs+pol%2Cdigital-text%2C144&sr=1-1 |

The Ladder of Years by Anne Tyler
(Published about 20 years ago if that’s important to you) |
| Isn’t this the premise of All Fours? |
|
Iona Iverson’s Rules for Commuting, assuming you want out of this rut.
The Vaster Wilds if you don’t. |
If you liked that book, check out The Brilliant life of Eudora Honeysett by Annie Lyons. |
| The Safekeep |
| The Midnight Library by Matt Haig |
Yes, but I have to say I absolutely hated this book! Not a single likable character, reeked of white privilege ( must be nice to have so much time on your hands to overthink and indulge in your every immature whim) and the fact that the author decided that her 5-year-old should referred to as “they” was annoying as hell ( and no I’m not a MAGA for what that’s worth). |
