At Certain Points We Touch by Lauren John Joseph

Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.

“my new American friend and i took several wrong turns, and found ourselves suddenly stumbling out of the crumbling residential streets, onto a massive six-lane highway which told us we had gone too far. gargantuan heavy goods vehicles, massive petroleum tankers, and enormous Coca-Cola trucks thundered across the dying night, bellowing diesel through the city, causing the pavement to rumble beneath our feet.We stood stock still, dazed, in shock, in front of a shuttered mechanic’s shop, agog at the sight of this impenetrable traffic, regarding each other with an attitude of, Well, what now?”

Just because you know lots of words, doesn’t mean you need to use them all!
