Let me start by saying I’ve never read Stephen King until now. I love the stories I’ve seen of his in film and television but the size of his novels intimidate me! I saw this book at the store and had to take a double take. This tiny book was written by Stephen King?! I can totally read this! Also: I saw that this won best horror book for 2018 on here and this has nothing to do with horror.
Very cute story and pretty bizarre, but what do you expect; it’s King, something has to be different. It’s a feel good story about embracing challenges and cherishing what time we have. There are themes of tolerance and acceptance and I think they were well written. Living in Kansas I’ve seen first hand some of the small-minded town folk you’ll come into in the story. The ending was very beautiful, almost tear worthy.
Again, it’s a short story and worth the read!
