I honestly like this one better than The Rest of the Story. Brody and Lawson were secondary characters in that book, but Brody’s story intrigued me and broke my heart a little bit, so I was so happy to get a short story showing how things turned out for him.
In some ways, it’s more about Lawson’s past and how he sees Brody, but it’s also about Brody’s recovery and their relationship. And it’s hopeful, which is what I really loved about it. The Rest of the Story is heavy with collective trauma, and it’s a relief to see how everyone on the team is healing, and how Brody in particular is learning to open up to the world again.
