a decent book. i think because it was so short i didn't get that much enjoyment out of it, but i probably would reread it.

A sweet, short story that ponders the meaning of love and the purpose of marriage.

I listened to the (free) Audrey addition which uses a LibriVox recording. The narration was good (more LMM stories should be read with a Canadian accent!), and the audio quality was fine. The notes from the "guide" were... Uninspiring. Like, no, I didn't find the story confusing, nor did I find the ending foreboding. Idk, maybe the other longer books on the app that have more scholarship around them will have better notes with them, but the reading group type questions at the end felt very middle school. It was cool to read more about the author, though.
