“I loved this novel primarily for its memoir-ish qualities. It was a delight to get into the protagonist’s head as she dealt with both the grief over a friend’s death and the life adjustments of inheriting his giant dog. It is very quiet and introspective. I love narrating this kind of meditative book.”—Hillary Huber
