I just never truly connected with this book. Seeing the author is a poet makes me think my preferred narrative style just doesn’t match hers. I really appreciate the protagonist being an elderly queer WOC, and I like that it can be read literally and metaphorically. Maybe it just tries too hard to be “quirky”?
