Really sad book. Not a traditional short story collection; they're vignettes of the narrator's life, some of which obviously fit together and some of which don't as much. I was hoping for a bit more from the ending. I enjoyed the narrator of the audiobook, especially because they used different inflections for different characters. Overall, would highly recommend.
