readwithej's review against another edition
5.0
I can’t quite express how thrilled I was reading this novel. I’ve had it on my TBR list for months, until finally, I secured a coveted copy from my local library—#supportyourlocallibrary. From the very first page, I found myself ensnared in its narrative web, unable to tear my gaze away. Nović’s masterful storytelling unfolded before me, weaving a tapestry of characters whose diverse perspectives acted as prisms, refracting the light of societal truths, both spoken and unspoken. With each turn of the page, unexpected revelations emerged like hidden gems, challenging my preconceptions and breathing fresh life into the narrative landscape. From the bustling streets to the intimate corners of the characters’ minds, “True Biz” offered a kaleidoscopic view of human experience, leaving me both awestruck and enriched by its depth and complexity.
