I liked this and it took me a while to get into the flow of the story too. There were so many great lines buried in the text even when it seemed to be so conversational and direct like you say.
I really felt the 'I am a loud person trapped in a shy person’s mannerisms' and the reversal of this line. And even though I can't directly see in my own life the connection to place and to shared histories of place, it felt very real and I could understand it.

So many great lines! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
