She Rides Shotgun by Jordan Harper

5.0

“Bring the bear,” he said. “He’s good for us.”

Forget what I said earlier about literary fiction, I struck gold with this. It’s unputdownable and captivating, the writing style works perfectly with its contents. It’s dark and gritty, but the strengthening father-daughter relationship between Nate and Polly brings heart to the novel. It’s tightly plotted and mostly dual perspective, with a few others dotted throughout (which I thought were fantastic additions). And the bear! The descriptions were so vivid and it was great. For me, this book was greater than the sum of its parts and I loved it. Honestly, I don’t really have negatives. Might upgrade to 5 stars when I mull it over more.
