Truly a wild read. I picked this up at the library and skimmed the blurb not knowing anything about the plot. It was uniquely written, as if it were a transcript of a phone call. Bomb shell after bomb shell is dropped as we delve into the lives and history between our two main characters. Themes of loss, grief, abandonment and resentment prevail. It feels as if you are listening to gossip from your home town. Parts of the novel were shocking and as the stories become more intertwined you are thrown further into thee deep end. Definitely recommend going into this with little knowledge of the book, as it’ll make it more enjoyable. Strange but in the best way possible.
