DID NOT FINISH: 48%

Really wanted to get through this book because the ideas such a cool one, but to me there was too much happening. The character were very much overlapping one another in terms of story and narrative throughout the first half of this book that I read, but I honestly could not keep a clear track of what was going on. Perhaps this is an audiobook versus an ebook/ physical book issue. So maybe I'll try to come back to it at a later time with reading it rather than listening to the audio version to see if that is a better way to consume this novel

I’m not giving this a rating because evidently I did not pay a lot of attention while listening. Like I thought I knew what was going on, and then I reread the summary and was like, “oh, just kidding.” Probably won’t contribute much to book club.

I read the Spanish version and I liked it more but felt it was a little slow at times. I didn’t white understand what the meaning behind it is

oh, this book was so good 

what happens to all the stories left untold? 

it was such an amazing reminder that everyone has stories, there’s so much going on it people’s lives. i love that it discussed the disconnect between the source, the author and the reader
