Still 5 stars and if I could add stars I would because Will Watt's new narration for this edition is GLORIOUS (if you missed it, Alexis got the audio rights back to Waiting, so was able to have the new edition of Waiting, with Chasing and the recipes and Aftermath, re-recorded).
The first time Adam calls Edwin "Petal" on the audiobook...deceased, I am deceased, I am writing this from the afterlife.
(I never get approved for jack-squat on Netgalley but somehow I managed to get my paws on this so thanks Netgalley gods)

Content Warnings
Moderate: Ableism
Minor: Medical content
Edwin has a stutter, so since he is the POV character this is highlighted, as well as how he's been treated in the past (ableism). Marius has been diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and, as a visual artist, is not taking this very well (internalized ableism)
