I'm not sure why I should care about the story based on what I've read so far. Introverted Susan and extrovert Norma became friends almost by accident, thrown together professionally they realise they actually need each other. Whilst Susan marries her first serious boyfriend and drops out of college, Norma rushes from one relationship to another and and becomes an acclaimed writer. Now both middle-aged and working at the same University they rediscover their value to each other as a pandemic looms. Every Nina Stibbe book is a joy from start to finish and this is no exception. The reader warms to Susan whilst getting incredibly frustrated with her passiveness and vacillates between love and hate for Norma. The skill of Stibbe is to get the reader to empathise with each character and yet laugh out loud and the absurdity and mundanity. Just a really wonderful book.

"Susan and Norma have been best friends for years, at first thrust together by force of circumstance (a job at a haberdashery shop in 1990s Leicestershire) and then by force of character (neither being particularly inclined to make friends with anyone else). But now, thirty years later, faced with a husband seeking immortality and Norma out of reach on a wave of professional glory, Susan begins to wonder whether she has made the right choices about life, love, work, and, most importantly, friendship"--Dust jacket flap.
