The Life We Bury

This story really grew on me as it developed. Other than ONE scene between the protagonist and his neighbour-turned-girlfriend that read, to me, like something ONLY a clueless bro could write, I was happily pulled along by the twists and turns in the tale. The audio book narrator, however, engaged in a BIT too much upspeak for my tastes (ending statements on an uplift, as if they were questions) and I don't think this verbal tic represented the protagonist particularly well.
