We Can Never Leave This Place by Eric LaRocca
3.0
I love Eric LaRocca’s voice in his writing. He truly knows how to turn a phrase and how to get to the emotional depths of a character and situation. But for all my love of Eric’s work, this novella left me wanting something. I don’t want to share too much, but I will say that there are characters within the story whose identities create a confusion and disconnect that ultimately distracts from the beautifully heart breaking story that is being told. I wanted to love this book. I truly loved the story that was being told, but in the end, the choice of characters left me confused.
