About this listen
Denise Fallon is tired. Not a unique feeling for a 24-year-old surviving late-stage capitalism. Only thing is, she’s been 24 for 67 years. At 91, she should be playing bingo in a nursing home in Florida, taking long naps, and bitching about her children not calling. Instead, she’s still navigating how to function with her dysfunctional friends, managing decades of shared grief, and then there’s the love she’s avoided for over half a century. Honestly, it’s a bit much.
But when faced with the prospect of letting go of the immortality she and her friends stumbled into, Fallon has to decide if she’s tired enough to quit or if she’s only just getting started.
Addie LaRue meets Grey Gardens in this New England gothic that asks, do you have what it takes to live forever?

The narrator however was excellent.
I found it better at 1.2 x speed in the second half, as it fit the tempo of the story better.
Not my thing
