Rattlesnake Kisses by Robert Ford, John Boden
4.0
Is there a topic that is off limits to you in a book?
I read RATTLESNAKE KISSES last summer and I’m just now getting around to writing out my thoughts. No fault to the authors. It was such a blast of a story! there was blood, the characters were trashy af and SO much heart in between the lines - I was crying before chapter 1 ended. ⠀
⠀
So back to the off limits topic..& spoiler alert:⠀
I lost a loved one to drowning. It was awful and any time I come to it in movies or books, along with a mini panic attack, I can’t see anything but my brothers face. So, I realized quick on page 1 of this book it was going to stretch me. ⠀
⠀
Bob Ford & John Boden did an AMAZING collaboration with this and I ugly cried A TON in the beginning & end, but everything in the middle was like you were in a Clint Eastwood film and on the edge of your seat! I still laugh out loud thinking of Dallas & The Kid (they seriously cracked me up) and their friendship in this story will just make your heart burst- id bet you couldn’t read this and not cry! ⠀
⠀
“All anybody has is right now. So what’re you gonna do with it?”⠀
⠀
“Don’t take your eyes off what’s close to your heart, Kid. Not ever.”⠀
