Roz's works are also refreshingly diverse, and this book is no exception. (ITS CALLED QUEERIM AND THEY HAVE THEMED DRINKS CALLED VASHTINIS!! CAN SOMEONE PLAN THIS PARTY IN REAL LIFE SO I CAN GO?) The book features little vignettes of their relationship, from their first meeting to their pivotal breakup, interwoven with scenes of the night they spend reuniting and attempting to cross the distance that's been built between them over the last 10 years apart. It follows Liza and Carrie, two former lovers, who find themselves back in each others' lives - or at least at the same Purim Carnival. This book takes place over the course of one night, sometimes skipping back in time, reminiscent of The Last Five Years. I know I've already been hyping this up because SAPPHIC JEWISH PURIM ROMANCE but now that I know it's also amazing beyond what it says on the tin, I will be forcing everyone to read this. If you know me, you know that I am constantly looking for romances that stray from the classic romance formula (meet cute, third act breakup, etc.) and this book did just that, and did it brilliantly.
