Nice book, slow story and not much to it. Low key story. I would not recommend to others.

From esteemed crime fiction writer George Pelecanos comes four blistering novellas, drawn together by themes of strife, violence, and humanity. When the son of the Carusos is involved in a hold up, the family home comes under siege in the form of a no-knock warrant. Months after the cops destroyed their home, the Carusos struggle to return to normal. Elsewhere, two former inmates reunite by chance on the set of a TV production.

Disliked this book, I listen to it almost 2 times cannot figure out what the real point of the store is. It’s super random I love reading and this is literally the worst book. I have read in a very long time.

I almost want to read it again. It really makes you think about things from another persons perspective.

Story
William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him—so when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano in his freshman year of college, it’s as if the world has lit up around him. With Julia comes her family, as she and her three sisters are inseparable: Sylvie, the family’s dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book; Cecelia is a free-spirited artist; and Emeline patiently takes care of them all.

Mediocre

This is a really slow read. It’s well written, but very boring. Maybe I would’ve liked it better if I had just read it myself, but the audible person was not very good. Much too monotone.
