I was excited to read one of this author’s novels because I’m such a fan of their short story writing, but 96 pages in and I’m feeling no meaningful connection to Joan Vole outside of general bad taste in my mouth.
I’m all for an antihero, but I was almost a third of the way into the book and I felt like I had no evidence or context clues to allude to what Joan’s character arc might be. Perhaps I’m giving up too early (and I could keep reading if I want to, on account of the well composed prose of the novel) but the point of the novel feels out of my sight.

As a Nashville local, I love reading local authors’ works but this was just too much about pee for me.

Have no problems with sexual content but this was just over the top and so repetitive with the peeing/pissing to cause extreme eye rolling. Got bored very quickly. DNF

This book was really beautifully written and I wanted to like it more! I like an unreliable or imperfect MC but I really struggled with Joan’s arc, even 90% of the way through I wasn’t quite sure what her growth/development was. The parts about teaching music were my favorite but wasn’t redeeming enough for me unfortunately.
