• Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

Lovely audiobook listen with the bonus of a couple songs sung. It’s more of a ramble than a plot, which often doesn’t work for me but the connection to music I loved in my late teens (early ‘90s) and the 3 main characters having ME/CFS (which I was diagnosed with last year - and has caused me to be bedbound for the past 6 months) made it really work for me. As a white woman, representation in literature has obviously not been an issue for the majority of my life, but as a Myalgic Encephalomyelitis patient, that representation is truly rare. This felt like a gift to listen to during ME/CFS Awareness Month
