How It Happened by Michael Koryta
5.0
Michael Koryta has been one of my favorite authors since I read So Cold the Water probably eight years ago. Every book since then has completely captivated me and been one of my favorites in their respective release years. This one is no different.
What IS different is that this is based on a true story (learn more here) and while this is not at all Jill Behrman's story, it's still very much a part of How it Happened. But so are two more universal things: the importance of journalism and the absolute horror of the drug epidemic (specifically opioids).
There are a lot of moving parts to this story, but it all seems absolutely seamless and effortless. (I'm guessing that's the mark of a great author, right? It all seems easy?)
Highly recommended.
