I really enjoyed listening to this book, and the narrator made it even more enjoyable. The minus one club reminded me of the midnight club series on Netflix - they all had a secret club where they all connected because they were dying. Minus one club - but they’ve lost a close family member or friend. It was a heart wrenching, slightly triggering but it wasn’t heavy where I wanted to stop listening.
From the audiobook, I can tell there were short chapters and also it reminded me of books I’ve read by Elizabeth Acevedo - not written in verse but the story telling was somehow slightly poetic, prose probably. I look forward to reading more from this author.
There’s themes of grief, suicide, substance abuse, LGBTQ+, mental health struggles
