Revisado: 02-04-24

I liked the distinct characters. I enjoyed the author’s talented writing style which is why I chose this book after reading the stunning, The Silent Patient. The way he tells a story is definitive, relatable, easily understood and felt. The specific details seem simple and are expressed in a comfortably casual manner and flow so authentically that I find myself absorbed into the setting, present and observing the experience like a people watcher. The overall story was very dark and I had difficulty enduring it. I thought that the character transitions were unrealistically inconsistent with their roles. The scenarios did not make sense, converge, or support the story. I did not find this book exciting or surprising but implausible

Strength and persistence of the human condition

Revisado: 01-30-24

This book delicately delivered multiple aspects of education and inspiration. The messages of stoically moving through strife, empowering a faithful work ethic as a privilege, and earning respect by asserting confidence and engaging empathetically with everyone, were reiterated and meaningfully compounded throughout. In addition to the opportunities for new learning and growth, the book was enjoyable holding my interest with relatability exposing the spectrum of the human condition. Sensory and specific details kept me present in the story setting but the author was selectively sparing in the more severe incidents.

There are many historical horrors that must be acknowledged but are often difficult to observe through reading, more distressing to imagine and unfathomable to experience. This author included these events objectively along with factual documentation. Then, instead of a descriptive detailing of that events setting, he noted the effect and feelings of the character who had experienced it, thereby granting the reader leniency and an opportunity to reflect and absorb within their ability. Often it is the furtherest removed from such experiences that are the most unaware of others plights because their own personal perception is limited. When a protected and privileged person attempts to discern the disposition of another so different and disadvantaged, they are often disconcerted as dark truths are felt and formulated into the reality of a profound pain that was implausible and remains unacceptable. When occurrences cannot be observed, understood, or acknowledged due to fear, shock, shame, helplessness, or disbelief, we disengage in denial back into the comfort of complacency. We cannot always completely realize the condition of another, yet it deserves a respectful acknowledgment. Apprehension and ignorance inhibit understanding and connections. The author accommodates us through weakness so that we can further our understanding and remain open to the unknown, and potentially nurture evolvement.
This art work of cognition was so considerately and carefully constructed that I was committed to continue on to the conclusion. This was a very worthwhile read/listen and I am enriched and improved by it.

Unlike any other

Revisado: 06-09-23

This book unashamedly revealed the raw human nature of people. It showed the ugly in the assumed virtuous and the beauty and humor in the shunned unattractive. The story captured my focus raptly and the ending left me satiated and fulfilled to the point where I actually felt physically full , content and proud for the heroin.

Fabulous

Revisado: 05-04-23

Loved the diverse and unique characters. This book was warm, authentic and uplifting. It was so funny that I laughed out loud for much of it and could not stop for a few minutes at the church scene. I’m appreciative of the writer and the narrators mastered art and talent for expressing the genuine human experience so beautifully. I look forward to more in the series.

Disturbingly peaceful

Revisado: 03-10-23

I’d say it was thought provoking but I don’t know what to think. It was mind blowing, ironic and it demonstrated the boring to the extreme manic behaviors of humans completely acceptable and showed with honesty like I’ve never read before, the potential flaws we all fear.

Super interesting and easy to follow. I feel more prepared to listen knowledgeably and engage in communications confidently with purpose and empathy. I learned a great deal more than I had expected.

Hilarious

Revisado: 02-25-23

How is this woman not more well known and why hasn’t she done more? This read/listen was honest, fun, and relatably real. The author genuinely takes on events of every man’s life from history to now, gives perspective and appreciation for both mens and womens uniqueness and gifts, and reveals a respect for individual human experiences with humility, humor and potential power to strengthen and heal from the inevitable injuries encountered. Love it when a lady isn’t too demure to show grit

Enlightening

Revisado: 01-05-23

I appreciate the authors work here in this heartfelt novel portraying a very different human experience that I’ve always been baffled by. I can relate to Olivia’s well meaning curiosity and respect Lilly’s right to “just be” without label or disclosure. I learned a great deal and I hope the book will reach many others like myself
