The Promise by Damon Galgut

3.0

i enjoyed this story to an extent in that i think the characters are really well done, but nothing ever happens. i like a character driven story, but there has to be SOME plot to keep the story worth telling, especially when the characters have no arc or redemption. the writing style was a little awkward too and didn't help make the story make any more sense. i would say just ok, but not bad enough for it to be a two star read.
