Had such a nice little time with this book. Admittedly I picked this up after reading Weather and I did like that one more, I think Offill mastered this weird and endearing style with Weather? They are very similar, even similar beats, but different feeling and heart. And tbh I'd read ten more books like this. Offill's books are just really engaging and enjoyable to sit in, even when they're dealing with hard and uncomfortable topics. This one was softer than Weather though. Anyway, all in all, Offill is an instant read for me at this point.
