5.0

No plot just vibes, or, there is a plot but it progresses slowly, and it’s more of a ‘witness the slow changes of people working out what they want in life, and day to day conversations’ than a ‘things must happen to advance the story’ kind of plot. Very cosy, very low stakes, one of the most relaxing books I’ve ever listened to. Makes me want to Do The Thing (write a book, start a studio, open a shop, go on that trip etc.)
