Life Is Short But Wide by J. California Cooper
3.0
I knew this one would be a bit of a slog. It was a recommendation from my mom, and we have very different reading tastes. On the other hand, because she knows we have very different reading tastes, she saves her recommendations for books she really wants me to read. So I gave this one a shot.
And it's... definitely the kind of book my mom likes. With her reading tastes that are so very different from mine.
(It worked better if I stopped "reading" it and started "listening" to it; that is, when I imagined that the narrator was actually telling me the story. I still didn't like it very much, but some of the language choices worked better for me when I imagined them as actual speech.)
