This was another awesome buddy read with my equally awesome friends Josy, Christelle & Lisa. While this was actually a re-read for me, having read it for the first time almost 2 years ago, it turned out to be no less of an emotional read now than it was then. I definitely stand by my original review...
Rounded up to 3 stars. I managed to finish it and now I can say that it was the most depressing and helpless book I have ever read. I would even warn you, don't read it if you suffer from depression. It could be then really dangerous. Though I prefer books with a HEA, I'm not someone who specificall...

Molto bello. Triste, ma fin dall'inizio è chiaro che non ci sarà un HEA, perchè come spiega chiaramente il protagonista, l'amore non può sempre sistemare ogni problema. Altamente raccomandato.
I can't find the words to express the impact this book had on me. It is the most emotionally draining book I have ever read. It is heartbreaking and I ended the book with tears streaming down my face. It is pure emotion. There is no happy ending.
4,5 stars4,5 stars looks like splitting hairs but "Listening to Dust" is an emotional story built on multiple voices and dialogues mastered to the point that I sometimes resented the narrative parts.It rang more than a bell and I had a hard time looking for a way of reviewing it without spoiling it....
This is without any doubt one of the hardest stories I have read. Gut wrenching. Phenomenal and very powerful writing. Wow! Brandon Shire is a must read for me.
No way could I verbalise at this stage just how beautiful and sad and powerful this book was. 5 stars for sure. I'll put a proper review up soon
