Well that was tragic.
It’s such an intriguing book. It almost feels like Huck Finn, but if he grew up a modern day complete with the abusive drunken step father. But it veers off a simple translation with the specter Friday night lights, drugs, and lives ruined across Appalachia.
It’s Huck Finn crossed with the ruin of Purdue pharma pushed painkillers.
The audiobook was read incredibly well and really added to the rural flavors.
