Wow! That was great!

Not gonna lie, at the start I was a little confused by the format of this book, and had to double check it was fiction not non-fiction. I’ve not read/listened to a book in this format before, but once I worked out the storytelling style I was enthralled! This is also the first audiobook I’ve listened to with a full cast, and it had a massive impact on delivery, given the style of writing I don’t think this would have worked with a single narrator. Overall the audio production was very well done and so easy to listen to.

The story itself was entertaining and heartbreaking, as I was transported back and forth through time while this story was being told. I listened in anticipation waiting for the story’s feature event to be told, the death of the Narrator’s father, and the events leading up to it. I listened as the parallels between the civil rights movement of the 70’s and the black lives matter movement of modern times were explored, kicking myself for not being more aware of events pre-2020. I listened as the characters battled with career conflicting with values. And I listened as I just knew the story HAD to end the way it did.

I loved this book, and will be purchasing this one for a shelf trophy and reread at a later date ☺️
