I don’t usually do literary fiction and even less often on audio but I’m enjoying the voice and nostalgia of this one. Maybe especially because it’s a coming of age novel set when I was coming of age as well.

I’m not ready to give up but finding it too preachy. Gotta find out what’s in the box tho

This is very Voicey in a way I sometimes enjoy and sometimes feel is too much. I keep coming back to it though, I’m invested in the plot and secondary characters

This is so fun.

Eee a shop around the corner retelling in a fantasy setting??? I’m delighted.

It is so great to see the little local details of west Michigan for once instead of nyc of San Francisco. Almost disorienting but also delightful

Midway comments: 1) so much longing! Almost too much for me but not actually too much.
2) I rarely encounter fictional Bethanys so I’m especially delighted that the one in this story is described as persuasive, charismatic and beautiful!

It’s delightful to read something in this genre set in small town Michigan. The main character goes to Meijer!

so far, delightful
