as someone who exclusively buys books used, i was pleasantly surprised to find this one at my humble local used bookstore, shelved in the j section because the way it's formatted on the spine does admittedly look that way. funny. this one's been nominated for like a shit ton of book awards and i am glad to say it did not disappoint! i have not read the original source material by twain, so by itself i thought this was a solid story and retelling. the writing is not overly detailed at all, which i actually didn't mind. the narrative flows really nicely and i ended up really liking james's character arc.
