3.5 stars this was an interesting book, a tough one to listen to in audio with the large number of characters and large number of permutations of what might have happened that the two detectives discuss. I still liked my time with it and enjoyed reading it.
this was a pleasant surprise. with it being called shoe story, i thought it was going to be super fluffy but it was delightful.  Daily Joys – 199 Still waters today, will take it.  Daily Joys – 197 Moment to moment everything changes.  Daily Joys – 196 Scared, vigilant, worried. 
Daily Joys – 195
Always love being together.  Daily Joys – 194
I feel lost and scared and worried. Trying to hang on to joy.  Daily Joys – 193
Some days are just too tough.
Loved this book of characters who are all interconnected through a storage depot in Boston. It was relatively light but still fun and enjoyable. Read it quickly and it kept my interest the whole time.  Daily Joys – 192
Rest day. Giving myself grace.
I loved this book. I know many thought it was too long and it was too much about video games. I didn’t. I am not a huge gamer but I did know most of the games mentioned in the book and I am a programmer so that part didn’t scare me. But this book wasn’t about that in the end. It was about the deeply layered, flawed, interesting, and complex characters and how they changed each others lives. I loved every one of them and I could not stop listening to it once I started. It did not feel long to me at all. Loved it.
This book took me forever to read. I started it at least ten times. It felt too depressing each time so I put it down. After months, I finally picked it as my book club pick so I would make my way through the book. Even then, it took me days to finish. I can’t put my finger on exactly why this book didn’t have as profound as effect on me as it seems to have on many others. The writing was totally fine and I did love the food and all the evocative scenes. But I think in the end, it felt like the story was about grief, yes, but not about growth. Not about what she learned. Such it made it an interesting and very sad story but harder for me to relate to it and make it my own. Still I am glad I read it and grateful for more stories of grief out in the world. |
