I really enjoyed this book! I listened to the audiobook and I think the author did a great job.
There was some clunky writing at times but overall beautifully written. I’ve seen some people say it’s just like her other books but this is my first book I’ve read by this author so it was refreshing for me!
I will say though once I got to around 6 and an half hours I started wondering why the book needed to be as long as it is. It brought my attention back but then the ending felt a bit rush and idealistic but I still thought the book was overall a great read.
Even though the book covers a lot of sad themes and events, for some reason it was really comforting for me while reading. As a 21 year old, it felt oddly comforting to know that everyone has struggles with knowing what they’re doing in life, even people in their 60s.
Definitely recommend!
