I’m actually shocked how much I loved this book. I was so immediately absorbed and entranced by the characters that hardly wanted to stop listening. Elizabeth Zott is such a no nonsense get-it-done type of woman I couldn’t help falling in love with her character. Honestly every character in this book was just wonderful. Even 6:30. I didn’t know I could love the perspective of a dog so much. There’s just so much heart and soul and this book that it hurts me to go on without these characters. The imagery and prose was phenomenal too. One of my top books of the year. What a great way to close 2023.
