Short, easy read and good story.  I read the physical book and listened to the audio alternately but found myself mostly listening to the audio as it was very well narrated (performed).  It’s an interesting premise to tell the story through a series of sessions with the case worker/job coach at a senior workforce program.  I found it a little unbelievable that the main character would tell so many of her flaws and weaknesses and family/neighborhood problems at this type of setting. To me it would have been more believable had it been a therapy setting.  Overall a good story and the main character seemed very real (especially listening to the audio version).  Short chapters and to the point writing style which I like.
