I wanted to learn more about the author part way through listening to this audiobook because I was really enjoying the pacing and tone. I loved the sense of humor and how well the novel flowed with authentic portrayal of the roller coaster of adolescence. Then, I came across something that tanked my enthusiasm.

Unfortunately, Alexie has admitted to allegations that were brought from several women who were sexually assaulted by him. It's really sad to think of not only the impact on these women, but also on his family.

I'm sure there are people out there who have no problem separating his behavior from his writing, I'm just not one of them. This will be the only book of his I'll read.
