Soft Flannel Hank by Eliza MacArthur

emotional hopeful mysterious reflective sad

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

3.5

I really liked this one but didn’t love it. I’m not sure why, maybe it was a bit too sad and heavy for me. Hank was So sad and So lonely for So long; it just broke my heart. I hate the thought of anyone, who has heart of gold, living like that for so long. Esther was so good for him but I hated the way she (inadvertently) kept hurting him in his most vulnerable area..!
Loved the super natural part of the story; I wish there had been even more of that.
Wonderful debut novel and I can’t wait to read the next one!
