EBSo, here are the results of my extremely unscientific “what should I read on vacation?” poll:
Other People We Married by Emma Straub 2 votes

So the winner is . . . One Day! Which is funny, because the last time I did this, while many people voted for One Day, nearly as many said it wasn’t worth it. As promised, I’m putting that one in my bag right now, along with at least one of the runners-up: Finny, The Uncoupling, The Orange Eats Creeps, and Await Your Reply. Plus the Kate Atkinson. I will report back!
