I listened to the audiobook and was initially put off by the narrator but I’m really glad I preserved as I loved this book.
There were some strange references to drug use/abuse which were quite stigmatising so that was a disappointment. otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed Lenny’s character development and the overall story of this book. It felt very realistic.
