Though this novel is mostly comedic, there are so many poignant themes scattered throughout it.
As a middle-aged chronic people pleaser, Clover Hendry has never allowed herself a day off. But today is different, and she lets herself break every single one of her rules. I absolutely loved Clover and her antics throughout the day. Everyone thinks she’s crazy, but at the end of the day (literally), Clover just might find find herself.
If you’re a people pleaser, too, you’ll definitely relate to Clover. For me, I related to her and even found some freedom within her story. I highly recommend this novel to fans of comedic literary fiction.

A throughly entertaining book that surprisingly got pretty deep with generational trauma, motherhood, and loss of identity that comes with it. Would absolutely read again.
