As city- and statewide lockdowns spread last spring following the trajectory of the COVID-19 outbreak, many of us vowed to become our best pandemic selves. Some panic-bought Pelotons to keep up precoronavirus fitness regimens; others were kneading, proofing, and baking bread ad infinitum.

Unfinished (February 9, Ballantine Books), becoming a first-time author. "Casual," she says, laughing.
Chopra Jonas is talking to me on Zoom from the London home she's been renting since November. She's sporting an oversize black sweatshirt and matching sweatpants and is tucked into an uncomfortable-looking chair located in what has seemingly been designated the "office area."
