A review by kaitlizcolby
The Knockout Queen by Rufi Thorpe

5.0

I really loved this one. The writing is excellent, and the characters are wonderful. I was worried at first because it seemed like it was shaping up to be one of those literary novels that’s gritty for the sake of being gritty, but that wasn’t the case. Somehow Thorpe managed to make these characters larger than life, flawed in some pretty significant ways, but also relatable and so, so likable. I want to read more of her work!
