This was my first ever audio book so it was an interesting experience to say the least, because I am so used to only listening to like music or podcasts while driving.
This story was so different than anything I have picked up in the past few months. It was refreshing to step away from big fantasy books with tons of world building, or romances with heartbreaks and third act break ups.
It told the story of a couple and a family; how their stories are all connected and how it all came to be where it was at the end. I also found very interesting how much detail was put into this story surrounding Michigan like Travers City and Flint.
This book has 1) inspired me to pick up more contemporary/literary fiction books and 2) listen to more audio books.
