The Dead Fathers Club by Matt Haig

I think reading it as an audiobook ruined it for me. The writing isn’t compatible with an audiobook, and it was narrated by a young boy. I am still getting used to audiobooks, so we’ll have to see if I pick it up later.

This was my first fiction audiobook, so I definitely think that affects my review. The characters were well developed, and the story was enjoyable and quick witted. There are very detailed sex scenes, and the characters deal with some heavy topics for a lighthearted book. I think overall it was well done and i’m hoping to read it in print in the future to compare my experiences.
