An incredible listen

Revisado: 11-06-19

I drove an extra 5 miles on my way home from work just to finish every last word.

This is one of the most moving audio books I’ve ever listened to. The voices. The music. The video games sounds. The music selections. It was as perfect as it gets.

I belly ached laughed at times and teared up at others. And I downright cried when it was over because I didn’t want it to end. A brilliant production.

Although the book was a finalist in the 2018 National Book Award for Young People's Literature, don't let that fool you. This book is for adults too. Especially if you grew up in a house where any sort of addiction (and chaos around that) was present. It was healing for me in ways I can't even articulate.

I'm going to get a copy of the print edition now just to see the artwork. After you listen to this (especially the author's notes at the end about how the art was created), you'll probably want a copy of the print edition too. But do yourself a favor and LISTEN to this book. The reading performances are soooo good. I got lost in the characters voices. Especially Grandma Shirley.
