Not Okay does a fabulous job of messing with you.
It follows the story of Marvin May, who recently got laid off from his job and is working nights at a gas station. He’s got a wonderful wife that he loves dearly. He’s got an okay life until it starts to spiral out of control.
I found this book hard to put down. Marvin’s an extremely well-written character and you’re constantly second-guessing yourself as you try to figure him out, and trying to decide what’s real and what’s not.
