This was a really enjoyable fast-paced read. The narration in the audiobook is really well done and helped me become fully immersed in the story. An exploration of grief, fatherhood, and masculinity all enveloped in a story of vengeance (but really, redemption). There were some points where I wasn’t sure if things would end the way I expected, and I love that I couldn’t predict every single plot point! Very emotional at times while funny at others, I definitely felt like I knew the characters by the end. And speaking of the end, those last few lines were so poignant. The final line is especially impeccable writing. Crosby certainly knows how to hook a reader and keep them engaged with the way he uses words. This story is so steeped in a southern atmosphere, you’d think you were actually there. Truly enjoyed this audiobook - hats off to Crosby and the narrator!
