We open with someone called Elizabeth Zott popping handwritten notes into her daughter’s lunch box some time in the 1960s. ![]() I requested and downloaded it back in December last year but I think I’m doing well to review books in the month they’re published I have seen a few reviews already that I’m going to go back to now I’ve collected my own thoughts.Īnd then there was the illogical art of female friendship itself, the way it seemed to demand an ability to both keep and reveal secrets using precise timing … Another NetGalley book and one with a lot of hype, like Candice Carty-Williams’ “People Person” which I’ll be reviewing in a couple of days, and, like that novel, well worth the hype. ![]()
