Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel

 Are we real?  Is time real?  Colonies on the moon.  The story was a bit confusing at times, but I think if I had read it in one or two sittings I would have enjoyed it even more.  I'm going to re-read some time in the future and ponder it all again.  Excellent characterization.

5 stars.

People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry

 Poppy and Alex rom-com.  Happily ever after.  I didn't really care for this, but it could be because I'm too old to have these kinds of feelings.

3 stars
