A book composed solely of letters, handwritten and emailed and notes. Sybil is a sharp voice who can be a bit of a Karen. Which kind of makes it funny. Also, a little cringey. Flipping back and forth between the pages to make sense of who is who.

This would be a great book to read in my grad program, if it existed then. This covers aging, disability, occupation, purpose, and community. That said, Sybil is not a particularly likeable character. With the letter writing, we see how she distances herself from others. I felt a sort of disassociation from her, the characters, and the actual story because of the narration style. Perfectly fine book, quick read.
