My re-read was just as emotional as the first reading.
This is such a great story.
I watched others reading it and reacting, and still knowing what was going to happen did not keep the tears away for Dill or Travis, or my snorts of laughter at Lydia's banter with her friends or family. 🥰📖📖

This was a book I went into without any expectations and it was great! Love the characters, the setting in Tennessee bible belt was new for me so very interesting. I think the author did a great job of letting the reader experience the struggles of our three main characters.

Jeff Zentner nailed it with this one. Dill, an imprisoned preacher’s son, Lydia, a well known fashion blogger, and Travis, a fantasy fiction fan stuck in the world of his novels, all live in a small town in Tennessee. All three want to forget their past. All three want something better, but their past is preventing their future.
Dill is the son of an imprisoned preacher who used snakes and strychnine as part of his ministry. Dill’s name is forever sullied in the town due to his father’s imprisonment of possession of child pornography, and Dill just wants to break free from his parents mistakes so he can live his own life. With his friends by his side, he learns about love, loss, what family should be, and what he values most.
