Thank you Zoey - hope you end up liking it as much as I did :-)


Barbara (I can only comment 10 times!) Beautifully and deeply moving review Peter. I didn't think he could top "Snuggie Bain". I have this on my tbr pile. I must move it up. Again, gorgeous review. I'm excited to read that it's your favorite book this year!

High praise from me indeed Barbara, but I reckon it's warranted here. If you liked his debut I think you'll definitely enjoy this one :-)

Susan Thank you for this beautiful review Peter. I loved Shuggie Bain and marked this as a want to read but realized I'd forgotten about it.

Thank you Susan. If you enjoyed Shuggie I'd be fairly confident you'll love this one too.

PattyMacDotComma Wonderful review, Peter! I loved this one as much as you did and reading your discussion of the characters put me right back there. Terrific!

Jennifer nyc Terrific review, Peter! I thought this would feel too similar to his first, but I guess I was wrong. Thank you!

Thanks Jennifer! Though it covers some of the same themes as Shuggie Bain, this is still a brilliant novel in its own right.

Patrick Doyle Rare to read such a close review that doesn't detail the story. Bravo.
