A lot of food for thought here。。。 。。。 in a package that is frustrating & funny at turns。 As strange as it may sound， the story has a feel reminiscent of "A Christmas Carol" in that the protagonist has been living for her work & is lost when it's unexpectedly taken from her。 As a consequence， she finds herself reflecting on her past， present， and future， as well as seeking to live her life differently。 Amelia is a complex character & not always the most likeable。 But she's been forced into a pain A lot of food for thought here。。。 。。。 in a package that is frustrating & funny at turns。 As strange as it may sound， the story has a feel reminiscent of "A Christmas Carol" in that the protagonist has been living for her work & is lost when it's unexpectedly taken from her。 As a consequence， she finds herself reflecting on her past， present， and future， as well as seeking to live her life differently。 Amelia is a complex character & not always the most likeable。 But she's been forced into a painful journey of self discovery - and that pain is so often where we find humor - and Amelia has some serious baggage to unpack with her wry sense of humorThe #metoo stuff is stereotyped rather heavy-handedly， but stereotypes are caricatures built on elements of truth， & it doesn't take the currently popular trip to misandry to make its point。 There's some frustrating stuff， but the book's heart is in the right place。 The ending had a twist that wasn't totally unexpected， but still warm fuzzied its way to my karma-loving heartPOTENTIAL CONTENT ISSUES:*Secular attitudes toward sex; couple sleeps together， but while there's frank & sometimes gritty discussion about sex， there's no peeping tom graphic descriptions*Language: Moderate to medium use of common swears， plus 2 f-bombs （& one that gets cut off on the way out）*Religion: several dozen uses of the Lord's Name carelessly & trivially （ie disrespectfully in vain）， but none as curses， fwiw 。。。more

I can 100% relate to Amelia。 She was funny and so strong but there was the vulnerability that is hard to convey in a story。 Loved it。
