This was an interesting challenge and definitely a work out for my brain. And I’m sure there are connections I missed, mostly because I did decide I wanted to get through it quickly because I didn’t think I was enjoying it. But like having sat with it, I’m really glad I read it, if only to exercise my reading comprension skills and have a book to talk about that isn’t pure women’s fiction. I expected buxton to be more at the center of the story, but it was fun being wrong and just getting to dive into more of the individual chats here instead.
