The characters were insufferable, there was no real conflict and I did not find either of the interesting, engaging or loveable.
Took too long to read and I wasn't engaged enough.
Wasn't enthralled by the audiobook interview style.
Stopped it and never picked it up. Wasn't realistic enough for me.
Started reading for book club, didn't manage any more, went to meeting and didn't want to read further
Read it for book club, only managed to get this far before the meeting and didn't want to read further.

Wasn’t engaging enough. Read it for a book club but didn’t finish by meeting date.
Will this house last forever is a painfully aware story of a young woman coming to terms with her absentee father dying in her 20s. It's told in a series of different short stories about different aspects of her father's life from different perspectives. Parts of it were written in the second person perspective which is unique and a pleasant surprise to shift the focus of the story.
I recommend this to anyone who likes to read new writing in interesting ways, that play with perspectives and timelines. It’s a raw, sentimental but also detached perspective of a daughter trying to connect to her poet father after his death.
