I love this book! It‘s super entertaining, snarky, and thought provoking. The characters were intriguing, and I really enjoyed the careful dissection of the ways some people become their worst when times get tough. And the ways other people become a better version of themselves. This is a gem 💎

100 or so pages in, and I‘m loving this snarky tale of a suburban family facing an infrastructure breakdown. No devices work, cars won‘t go, no power, but their first concerns are a lost airpod, the undelivered grocery order, and an unfinished AP Exam. This book is cracking me up. 😏

Lights out in Lincolnwood is a marvel. This book had me dreaming about living in its world (I wonder what time it is, do I have a watch nearby, digital clicks aren‘t working 😂) So many wonderfully observant lines and the novel contains some great truths about society and family and how differently each of us can view the same situation. Excellent!! #ARC #Netgalley
