I received this book via a giveaway from The StoryGraph. I listened to it on Audrey. This story was ok overall- it didn’t fully grab me and I found myself having trouble getting through it.  It was interesting that the intertwined relationships all centered around various interactions with Jimmy. I think there could probably be less characters and have more time developing these fewer characters as it was confusing to follow all of the story lines as the narration jumped between people. The descriptions of various peoples’ interactions with unhoused people (Jimmy) were interesting and poignant.
