Goodreads Review - "The Dogs of Venice"

The Dogs of Venice by Steven Rowley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When I marked this book as finished, I noticed my “Read” Goodreads bookshelf now said 555. That’s how many books I’ve read in my life. I looked up the meaning behind 555 and it symbolizes major life changes, transformation, and personal growth which is very fitting for this book.

Here’s my favorite quote from the book:
“Perhaps how to be alone wasn’t even the lesson Paul was seeking; how to be present was. There was music and wonder in life to be had, and yes, sometimes it was nice to experience it with another, but it didn’t come from being with someone else. The world could be appreciated alone, even when it felt scary.”

The reference to Diane Keaton made me a little sad.
