Many thanks to NetGalley and Henry Holt & Company for gifting me a digital ARC of this auto fiction book by Hannah Pittard. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 3.5 stars rounded up!
Hana P is living in Lexington, KY, teaching at the university and living with her boyfriend and his daughter. Hana's family has all migrated to live in close proximity to her as well. Hana learns that her ex-husband's novel features a version of her and she is not happy.
I had never heard of auto fiction before and once I realized that's what this book was, I did a quick look to see how close it was to real life. Apparently very. This is Hana's (and Hannah's?) way of working through her life and emotions and the rest of us get to tag along. It's almost a stream of consciousness-type book, and parts were hilarious even when some were sad as well. We get to watch as Hana is questioning all her life choices and feelings. It's quirky (talking cats!) and messy and an interesting read.
