Many thanks to NetGalley, Grove Atlantic and Lily King for the opportunity to read this book - 4.5 stars for a wonderfully, messy glimpse into the world of Casey Kasem (real name Camila Peabody).
Casey is a struggling writer trying to keep her life afloat. She's living in a converted shed on the property of a friend of her brother's, walking his dog for a bit off her rent. She works as a waitress at Iris, a popular restaurant complete with lots of good/bad coworkers. She's massively in debt from her student loans and her mother just died. She has two guys of interest that cause her to feel very different things. Whew. It's a lot. And Lily King takes us on her wonderful journey.
I just loved Casey as well as so many characters in this book (Harry!). This should definitely be a must-read for anyone who wants to be a writer or is struggling just to get through grief or life in general.
