In reply to Andrea. I'm sorry you'll have to wait, but glad Reese is giving love to libraries!

I had this on my radar and when I went to put it on hold, it was announced as a Reese’s book club pick – looks like I’ll be waiting awhile for it

Yeah Orleans reads it for the audiobook and I was digging her narration which was also subtly funny in places. I also got the print book for Christmas so I gather I will end up completing it in both formats. I am liking it despite any slowness.

In reply to Tina @ TBR Etc.. Oh no! The wrong narrator can kill an audiobook for me. Hopefully, she doesn't drag it down too much...

I just started this on audio. Enjoying it so far, but I wish they would have opted to get an audiobook narrator instead of having the author read it.

In reply to Susie | Novel Visits. Add in the fact that it was about libraries and I would be more inclined to overlook a slow pace or other flaws. I loved how she wrote.

I picked this up back in October or November and just could not get into the writing. I felt like the book did not really know what it wanted to be. I suspect that had much more to do with where my own mind was at that time and less to do with Orlean’s writing. I’m so glad it worked for you.
