superwritermom 's review for:

Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler

---

There are parts of this novel that are so breathtakingly beautiful that I have a distinct "I wish I'd written that" pang. Then the ending rather surprised me. I'm thinking I should've read this one in a shorter time frame to really appreciate it. All in all, if Nicki Salcedo tells you to read a book, you read the book, knowing you'll be the better for it. Such is the case with Shotgun Lovesongs.
