The novel is tremendous, but I also thought the narrator did a fantastic job and this added to an already amazing story.

Meredith Westgate’s incredible debut is a story I’ve been thinking about ever since I read it. So much so that I purchased the audiobook version to experience it again in a different format. The setting is so fully realized, her characters so layered and tragic. This story made me question the nature of memory, pain, grief and guilt. Does consciousness reside in our memories? The ways in which we numb our pain—is it for the high of it, to disconnect, to find the love that has left us? Or is it to punish ourselves, is it guilt that drives it?
A smart allusion to the opioid crisis and the ways in which we deal with grief, loneliness, and our need for belonging, this book with its beautiful prose and fluid, fully realized landscapes is one that I felt I inhabited as I read, and so in a way, I also lived it.
