A terrific blend of humor and humanity. The writing was witty and clever which I hadn’t expected and admittedly took some getting used to personally, but ultimately, I was won over. Though I found myself relating to Zara the most, there were bits and pieces of a few of the characters’ lives I could empathize with. I was in tears at the end because I was so touched.
