This was incredible, especially as an audiobook. The narrators were fantastic, and the entire last hour had me in tears in a way few books do for me. I loved the audiobook so much, I’ll be picking up a physical copy to keep. Joe and Ruthie’s stories will be with me for a very, very long time.

A heartbreaking novel about finishing yourself and recovering from trauma. I really liked the dual POV between Norma and Joe. I wish the chapters had been dated but they were in chronological order so I'm just being picky
