This was such an insightful description of a writing style I wish we felt more often:
It’s a cozy read about life as a 40-something woman living in Manhattan in the 90s. In my experience, pre-tech-boom books have such a different tone about them. There’s a sense of groundedness, as if the characters aren’t distracted because the authors themselves aren’t. I find it extremely centering to read books (and watch movies) where zero iPhones are present. Does anyone else have this experience?!

Yes I so totally agree about books and movies without iPhones. I yearn for that!
