Summary

From the writer and creator of the YouTube channel Pursuit of Wonder and the author of the Amazon best sellers Notes from the End of Everything and The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence, comes this timely, heartfelt novella that cuts to the core of love’s challenges without any sugarcoating.

Adam has spent the last couple of years focusing on himself, trying to get his life and career in order. Now, entering his thirties, he’s painfully alone, struggling to meet and date anyone.

After a series of unusual encounters with a woman whom Adam feels an attraction to unlike anyone he has before, he begins to experience strange problems, and he finds himself in deeply unsettling situations. Adam must discover what it means to love and be loved, and what he's willing to endure and sacrifice to truly be with someone.

The Closer We Get combines a timeless exploration of the intricacies and struggles of relationships with the backdrop of an increasingly surreal and mind-bending near-future world.

A beautiful message in a short story

I definitely liked this story and it's message about love, reality and existence. Although the story itself is nothing mind-blowing, I thoroughly enjoyed the author's talent at realistically portraying human behaviour and interaction with one another.
A bit brief near the end but absolutely worth a listen if you're a fellow fan of Pursuit of Wonder.

Just what I was looking for

Everything was very nicely done, it might just be that the topics the audiobook explored was of the topics I have recently found myself very much interested in, but I'm sure even people who didn't take much interest in these topics would surely do now.

all in all, this some five star gourmet shi
