I picked up this audiobook on sale because I was looking for something different, and because I really enjoy Will Watt's work. In general, this is a little more sweet, chaste, single-dad energy than I normally go for, not a lot surprising or emotion-inducing about it for me, but, you know. It was entertaining and fine!

The biggest reaction I had to the plot was that I wish the United States would calm the hell down about sex. It's a natural part of life. Most humans do it. Almost all humans could probably do with better sex education than we ever get.

I was also hoping to see a little more of the trio of modern-day Macbeth witches,  Agnes, Elsie, and Maude, but alas.
