2025 book 133

 Katie Yee’s Maggie; or, A Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar

From the description, this isn’t necessarily a book I would rush to read—it’s about a woman, a mother of two, whose husband leaves her (for another woman), and then she finds out she has breast cancer. But people have been SO enthusiastic about it! And it is really good—funny and a little weird and very thoughtful. I loved how much storytelling there was and how much the character thought about the stories she told her kids. Really engaging narrative voice. I did wish the best friend was a little more developed but this was a very good book. A/A-.
