This one is such a page turner. It’s a story about dysfunctional, broken and very human people. Every chapter endearingly ends on a bittersweet notes. The writing is clever and there are a lot of good throwbacks to previous scenes and dialogues.

Beautiful and touching storytelling. I admired the writing style. A great example of telling ordinary stories in an extraordinary way.
