The third book of Hoover’s I’ve read in the past year and I am always surprised by how different each new book is from the last. This book explores poverty and addiction in a raw and thoughtful way. The characters are hugely flawed but hard not to love. The story is unbelievable but not. I loved it and think it’s an underrated novel by Hoover.
