In The River by Jeremy Robert Johnson
5.0
I really thought I was prepared for this. Nothing could prepare me for this. I had respectable tears towards the middle, but the end had me full out ugly crying. I'm glad my husband was already asleep or he would have made fun of me.
I read this in two sittings, but it could easily have been read in one. The story flows so quickly because it's filled with heart wrenching truths and honesty. Truths about ourselves and the cruelness of the world. Anyone who has ever loved, and imagined or lived through a world lacking their loved one, will feel this story in their bones.
Yes, you have a lot of other things to read, but you are doing yourself a disservice if you dont set aside a single reading session for this one. Mind. Blown.
