It saddens me
That we’re so busy
Looking after ourselves
That we neglect the misfortunate

Waiting for cars that never come
Messengers of love and luck
Not finding their way

Going Zero by Anthony McCarten

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I loved this page-turner, and I never saw the major plot twists (plural) coming, though afterward, they made sense. It's very well constructed and hard to believe this is a debut novel.
