Gretchen recommends "Ms. Demeanor"

Are you tired of the gray days of January and need a pick-me-up? Elinor Lipman’s latest novel is a delightful rom-com that starts with a rooftop dalliance that lands the heroine with an indecent exposure charge, a suspended law license, and a court-ordered lock down. Two worlds unexpectedly collide when she meets a fellow condo dweller in her building in similar straits. Throw in a caring but competitive twin sister, some TikTok cooking videos to pass the time, and some sideways sleuthing to expose her mysterious accuser. The result is a funny and sweet story of how you never know things can take an unexpected turn for the best.  For adults.
