Among Friends by Hal Ebbott

5.0

---

I thought this was truly stunning. Hal Ebbot’s writing felt hypnotizing. He strings sentences together that are bountiful with wisdom but also leaves out info for the reader to assume on their own… which felt fresh and made me enjoy the book even more. I’ll give a brief glimpse of inside below because I think knowing the bare bones is the way to go in…

Emerson and Amos have been friend since college, when their families meet one Fall weekend to celebrate Emerson’s birthday when a shocking act is committed and a 30 year old friendship begins to unfurl…

The opening is set in the beginning of October but doesn’t necessarily feel like a Fall book. It moves forward as well as flashbacks. Making it a good pick to throw in your beach bag. With a low page count and a few pages per chapter, paired with the propulsive plot drop… this made for a quick read. 

Thank you @riverhead
