Another book that led to a fascinating discussion at this month's bookclub, but didn't quite make the impression we were all hoping for.

I listened to this as an audiobook. The story is amazing. But the narrator made me feel super uncomfortable. I felt as though the voice of Bobby was infantilized. I’m not sure what was going on with that.

Just couldn’t get into the writing style for this one. It was too opaque and too ‘literary’. The lack of quotation marks, the way the author went back and forth and the somewhat choppy style made it quite hard to read.
