I listened to the audio while following along in my physical copy ...
I truly wanted to like this, but I did not.
With the 3 different POVs, I felt like I was reading three different books, and one of them would have been a DNF!
My least favorite character was Toby. I just could not get into his story or even the narrator. Though I knew that eventually his POV would make sense, it did not.
My favorite character was Renney, only because he was easier to understand and follow. I know that he had his own issues, especially dealing with grief and his weird relationship with Alan.
Maureen's POV came in at a close second to liking, and this was in the beginning.
The ending was left to be subjective, and I did not quite like that. I felt that I wanted more for the over 400 pages that I read. As I sat with my thoughts, I realized that the author wanted to create the illusion of imperfect characters and different challenges that humans go through ... and can appreciate that.
Although this book was not quite what I expected in the moment, I am glad that others were able to enjoy it.
