This was a slog to read but not so awful to listen to. I started listening at page 200.
slow-paced

What a load of shite. With some lovely prose thrown in.

4⭐️ This book took me a minute to get into, especially because I am not a fan of books that lack punctuation (in this case, quotation marks). However, once I did, I really loved it. The found family and the relationships and friendships that developed throughout the book were delightful. I do think it was a little long, but I’m glad I stuck with it.

I've heard great things about this book, but the writing style is ruining it for me. Not worth continuing.
