What a lovely, kind book about existing in 2025.
This is in many ways a classic chicklit book of the 2000s, but with a contemporary worldview of work and relationships and how being an adult feels in the venture capitalism reality of media. Our protagonist is Cecily, a great podcast producer who got fucked over by her ex-boyfriend and former creative partner and is now letting other people control her career path. Her boss makes her do a podcast that purports to make over her life and find her a boyfriend, essentially, but at the same time she has an incredible meetcute with a man with a giant dog. The process of how she finds her way to herself and to having a relationship with the guy who actually deserves her is just so, so nice, and the conflict is both real and never so stressful that I couldn't enjoy the process. Just does exactly what you want it to, written by someone who clearly knows from the world she's depicting.
