River Weather by Cameron Mackenzie

5.0

“When I was in seventh grade or thereabouts, I had a suicide scenario…”

That’s how the first story of the River Weather collection begins, and it’s really the best way to plunge into this painfully honest read. These stories are brutal, haunting, and the kind that each take a while to read because every sentence, every word feels placed with painstaking importance. I loved it, but I made sure to space it out and dive into lighter reads between stories.
