I liked North Woods by Daniel Mason, which feels similar, but I loved this! It was so full of heart. And, while many of the characters in these stories complained about the harshness of the New England landscape, it still made me want to go back and stay forever.

I don’t really have the words to wrap it all up in a review…. for my fellow neurodivergent homies, it might be hard to remember all the details that bring things together but most of the stories are captivating on their own. I feel like this is a book I’ll have on my mind for a while.
