I love this book. I love the writing I love Cara's voice. Listening to it on audiobook was a fantastic choice; Rossmery Almote was great. There's some sound effects which i don't mind bc im a fictional podcast girlie as well. Cara was so familiar that she could have been a family friend. Her values (good, bad, and otherwise) were things I can clearly map onto the other women in my family. The writing is so so accurate to how my family speaks in English, little grammatical things that come from her translating to English in her brain. I think this could be a nice comforting reread for me for that reason. There's blog post potential here.
