This book is a page turner, and I was pretty rapt to the book. However, I don’t think I enjoyed it that much? I barely remember what happened in the middle of this book. And by the end I more just wanted to finish the book than find out what happened. Also, at the end the author just kept on leaving out the big reveals, which felt like a lazy way to write a cliff hanger… if the character we are reading about finds something out … tell the reader too? Instead the author would just jump to another group of characters and leave the reader confused. The language was too flowery/descriptive and I just wasn’t a fan. But if you are just looking for an easy page turner/mystery then this may be a good one.

I really enjoyed the characters & the plot twists, really the story itself. I do feel it was somewhat verbose, some of it could have been cut without hurting the amazing story hidden within.

This was a really immersive, enjoyable read!  It was long and required me to take it in small bites, which I enjoyed.  There are hard truths in this book, but the writing is wonderful and the characters are fully realized.  Definitely worth reading!  5 stars

I have intense and mixed feelings about this. 

Did I like it? No. 
Was it well executed? Yes. 

TLDR: “The Lovely Bones” if it was a very southern feeling coming of age novel- except of his whole ass life- and the story of navigating purpose and relationships with wild CPTSD.
