In the week before Christmas, Georgie and Seth get the chance to write the show they've always dreamed of - provided they turn in scripts during the 10 days Georgie's planning to be on holiday with her family. Her husband Neal, devoted to raising their daughters full-time, feels neglected in favor of Jeff'd Up, the hit sitcom that pays the bills but doesn't fulfill Georgie artistically meanwhile, her writing partner, Seth, resents Neal for taking Georgie away from her work. comedy writer struggling to balance her work and family life. Which I suppose is appropriate, given that this is largely a book about conflicting and equivalent truths. So I could review it straightforwardly and say that it's funny, clever, charming, endearing, and all that would be true - but I could also review it and say that in some ways it's the least of the books of hers I've read so far, and that would also be true. On the other hand, I've also read Rainbow Rowell's other books, and this one pales in comparison. On the one hand, I literally laughed and cried from one page to the next and devoured the whole in a brief sitting.
I'm deeply conflicted about how to review this book. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
