Not a bad little read. I'm not going to lie, Tom Hanks narrating this nostalgic book about the history of one family and their overpriced house was really incredibly cozy. It's pretentious at times and Danny is an insufferable privileged white man whining about nothing while doing nothing about his life but it was a comfortable audiobook to settle into at night or on walks with my dog. Not my usual taste, but my brother listened to it for some reason so I wanted to talk about it with him.
