Honestly I thought this book was decent. It just definitely wasn’t for me. I didn’t much care for the characters or the drama and I felt well removed from the story. I wasn’t invested and I didn’t feel like the main character was well developed either or any of them for that matter. Fortunately it was a quick read.

CWs: suicide, murder

Hang the Moon is a really beautifully written piece of historical fiction, but I knew it would be with Walls authoring it. There were aspects of the plot I had trouble caring about, but those were few and far between. If you're up for a highly emotional, plot-driven book to tug at your heart and keep your attention, this one's for you.
