This wasn’t what I was expecting, but that isn’t a bad thing. It was a series of wonderfully poetic, sometimes painful, sometimes ugly stories woven together into a beautiful non-linear tale.

I listened to the audiobook read by the author, and it was lovely to hear to it in his heavy Canadian accent. There were some times, though, where the audio got tinny and electronic, like little bits of it had to be re-recorded or recreated. It’s possible that’s because I was listening on 1.5x speed, but I usually do and it’s not something I’ve noticed in other books. It wasn’t enough to dissuade me from listening to it, but it was enough that I found it a bit distracting at times.
