A beautiful exploration of the stories we tell ourselves and how that shapes the ways in which we experience our lives. It was just a little too long for me with some unnecessary or over-explained elements.

It's been more than a month since I read this book and I still think about it. I think about his art, his sister, his dad, her job, her, him, all of them. I loved when it was set and watching things unfold. One thing I really appreciated was both him and her worked on their own stuff separately and independently. They were completely their own people and it was awesome to see such developed, complex, human characters. Also, I just loved everything they were thinking about and going through and ugh such good topics.

Great exploration of humans, couples, and how each person's baggage doesn't just go away magically. 
Definitely had me reflecting a lot about my own life.

Fascinating; highly recommend speeding up the audio more than usual! It’s hard to tell where this is going but had lots of twists.

Child abuse is not a central focus but rather the trauma carried with the adults into their marriage. The emotional abuse from the parents is more focal than the few mentions of physical abuse. The child of the main characters in never abused and is treated well, so this is not about a cycle of violence.
