This book was part of a list of books that were "heartwarming" and similar to my obsession with Beth Brower's books. So I took a chance and listened to it. It IS heartwarming, and the writing is delightfully witty and crisp. I guess I mean the dialogue is witty.
The narrator is British and some of the words and allusions were lost on me. But there were enough that were so clever and so fun that it was a fun listen. The story moved along in an interesting, introspective way that I related to. I mean a lot of the feelings of loneliness, relationship struggle, struggle to be authentic, etc., felt very true.
The only caveat is that although it's fairly clean, not too spicy, there are parts where the language, particularly F-bombs take over. Not fun, but not too distracting. I really enjoyed both of the main characters, because they were so hapless, vulnerable, and open to change.
