So you won't find anything on Goodreads from me about it - but I will say that I was impressed with his writing and voice. It was hard to read at times because it was so real, and such a different social environment from my own. I was more glad to have read it than to be in the middle of reading it, and it left me on alert for this next one from him.Kate L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17044129739440995201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-5772349075390809312022-02-01T14:19:32.145-07:002022-02-01T14:19:32.145-07:00One problem with aging for me: I read more slowly....One problem with aging for me: I read more slowly.
