We follow an MFA student named Kat.
She is in an open relationship with her boyfriend, Jay, who lives across the country.
Kat lives in D.C.
Jay's best friend also lives in D.C., but hates Kat.
because he saw how upset Jay was when they opened the relationship.
But then, plot twist, they have a romantic spark.
That's tricky because he has a girlfriend, Nia, but plot twist, Kat has a spark with Nia too.
Second plot twist.
Isn't that good?
It's perfect for the summer.
She's back.
I've never whistled in my life.
I was definitely about to peer pressure you into trying.
I felt similarly about Ann Patchett's previous book, Tom Late.
That book also had a soothing quality to it.
She's just a good storyteller.
I would argue it's harder because tension animates stories.
And so if you lower the temperature, how do you create a compelling story?
Not everyone can do it, but Ann Patchett can.
I have another book that is radically different because this book is weird, surreal, hallucinatory.
