I‘ve tried both the audio & print and am having difficulty getting into this one. I really thought this would be squarely in my wheelhouse. Maybe I‘m not focusing and need to come back to it another time.

A Sweet Obscurity: A Novel | Patrick Gale

pick

His books never disappoint. A couple of unexpected things near the end. Quite a bit of romance. One thing annoyed me. The kid character was supposed to be 9. I had to keep reminding myself of this fact as she sounded and acted like a 14 year old. Glad I read it.

MrsMalaprop I haven‘t read this one. Love Patrick Gale 🥰. 1mo

Jeg So do I @MrsMalaprop . Michelle lent me this one. An op shop find for her. 1mo

Super good. I like both perspectives. Seemed like a very real and nuanced account of living with a family member with SUD. Beautifully written, want to explore more Susie Boyd
