• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

The stories tie together so well, it felt more like a novel with a non-linear chronology than a short story collection - one of the stories centers on the main character asking the question “How did we get here?” and that’s really what the whole book seeks to answer, with haunting and memorable vignettes. The audiobook narrator was lively and differentiated between the characters well.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Alcoholism, Miscarriage, Child death, and Death

Moderate: Vomit and Drug use

Very strong content warning for the last chapter/story which graphically depicts

an infant death

and sort of comes out of nowhere.
