O o f, what a disappointment. 

Going into this, I was excited for: small town pacific northwest vibes, a wheelchair using character, bookstores/records. 

With the things I did like, I enjoyed all the literary references, and it was nice having some handicap representation in a book, whether that was handled well is not for me to say. 

And onto the bad, getting through this was a TRUDGE, I understand that not every story has to have likable characters, but the author really took this challenge on. 


I thought they handled the topic of addiction pretty awfully, the main character made such baffling decisions, and the romance was just…… NOT it. 

Overall, a bummer of a way to close out my reading month, onto the next one.
