So, I listened to this book, and I think my narration crush on Nick Podehl probably gained it an extra star, but this story was also great. It felt so raw and so real - my heart just kept breaking and healing again the whole time.
(especially toward the end of the book, I was reminded of the part of Jesmyn Ward's "Men We Reaped" where she writes something along the lines of how, when a sibling dies, they take our stories with them. If I was still in college I was write a paper, or at least a 5 paragraph essay, about these books).
Anyway, I kind of don't want to start another audiobook, even though it would mean listening to the radio on my long drive to work, because my brain is still mulling over this one.
