- beautifully written. Didn't not enjoy most of the story. This novel follows Delores from a young age to her midthirties, with all the ups and downs of divorce, abuse, death, grief, and mental and physical health struggles. I enjoyed many of the side characters more than the main character, who was a little too weird for me. This is not an easy read if that's what you're looking for but does provide for good conversation. I may have been influenced but the narrator's voice since I listened but I don't know that I would have finished if I didn't.
