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).

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

The Safekeep

If you liked that book, check out The Brilliant life of Eudora Honeysett by Annie Lyons.

Iona Iverson’s Rules for Commuting, assuming you want out of this rut.

The Vaster Wilds if you don’t.

Isn’t this the premise of All Fours?

The Ladder of Years by Anne Tyler

(Published about 20 years ago if that’s important to you)

What Alice forgot?

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.

Briefly Perfectly Human is really fascinating.

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.

Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman

I feel like The Paper Palace was like this.
