I really loved the writing. The story is told in various POVs that will make you question who to really side with. But the beauty of it is how it plays with your emotions and elicits really strong feelings towards every character and the things they’re going through.

I think my favorite thing about Miracle Creek is the characters and how their flaws and ugly truths are presented as just them being humans. Humans who would do anything to protect themselves and their loved ones. Humans who get frustrated, hateful, envious, and do really shitty things.

In the end, i found the book satisfying and conclusive. There are just other people that I hope were held accountable, but it’s a great book overall. An enraging and gripping story about the beauty and the ugly in us humans and how unfair the world really is.
