Really sad, but beautiful. Hard to imagine a world where animals are all but extinct but still really compelling

Trap music was my childhood, little did my parents know. Reading this analysis of OutKast and the Atlanta trap scene really gave a lot of context to songs I've known my whole life. 

thoroughly enjoyed this. I have never read a truer story about growing up in south Georgia (or one at all, really). 

I think memoirs with a side of naturalist environmentalism are my fav 

I cannot explain how much I enjoyed this.
What a delightful group of characters. What wonderfully cerebral prose. So good.

I think... As a "biopic" of the city of Savannah in the 80s, this works.

It's really leisurely and includes a lot of vignettes loosely tied to a shooting and the subsequent trials. I do think it paints the eccentricities of Savannah well, but ... It didn't quite live up to the hype for me.

I dunno how Rebecca Serle gets the best narrators for her audiobooks, but she does.

Really enjoyed this!

Love the adventure. So many good reminders right now

A warm story, delightful to read

Always love what Shauna writes. 
Such a delight.

It took a long time to get into this, but was worth it in the end.
A change of pace from gen fic, sad, but also a really wonderfully written story

Beth and Sarah bring a lot of nuance an heartfelt analysis to their work at Pantsuit Politics and in this book.
It was full of great reminders and lessons that many of us need. Most especially, connection over agreement about most things. I really appreciated the shift in thinking about government entities (and really everything) from a "consumer" perspective to a perspective of participation.
