Sounds right up my alley. Off to find a copy.

Ooh, enjoy!

Second review in a row that gives me hope that it's a book for me!

[@BobTheBookerer]

Aha, fingers crossed

[@ianp9086]

I really enjoyed it too - kind of reminded me a bit of Rachel Cusk’s Outline in that we are hearing about the narrator’s interactions with other people and through that we learn a bit about them. I think the order of the sections was an interesting choice too (but don’t want to say more here!). I also think there is quite a lot of mental health issues brought up in the book.

Oooh, I need to read the Outline trilogy- I’m intrigued by everything I hear about them. And yes! The ordering was very interesting!

"Do I have a strong sense of Bobness?" is my sentence of the day. I enjoyed The Details but it didn't make a lasting impression.

[@tam876]

😆 Loved the “Bobness.”

Ahaha, thank you!
