I wouldn't call it forgettable. I mean, there's an erotic scene with a bear.

I don't think it's simply a book on isolation or even just a feminist take--though it is both of those things--I think it's also a discussion on the natural world.

Beyond the everything else about the novel--the fact that the bear stays so thoroughly a bear, although "domesticated" really stuck with me.

I couldn't listen to audiobooks until I could.

That being said the audiobook I listen to have to be simple or I will just be hopelessly lost. I usually opt to listen to YA novels.

I also have to be in the right mindset--like I can't listen to them to or from work, or at the gym-- but I can focus pretty well when I'm in the shower, out for a walk, or doing chores.
