amazing characters
The only this I disliked is that it ended. I love the characters and finally a book where the town isn’t happy go lucky to the MCs. It makes the story feel more real.

Quentin gets stranded during a storm and stays with Augustus (Mac). The two connect and find what they need within each other. Quentin is tired of expectations based on his outward appearance, Mac is an outcast in his own town but together the two find something special.

Thoughts while reading:
-what judge would convict an 18 year old in that circumstance, despite character witnesses?
-Mac owes them nothing, they’re awful, I would have left there a long time ago
-if Mac really feels he must pay them money, couldn’t he do it living somewhere else?
-it seems a little unlikely Mac can go from 18, to 20 fresh out of jail and have paid off so much. So he owed 1$150,000 and 18 years later (because 2 were in jail) he only owes $20,000, plus he also paid off his mom’s medical bills. And his job is a salvage yard, he really makes that much? I guess he doesn’t have a mortgage. And he can make enough to live off too and have a $10,000 emergency fund. He makes a lot more money than I would have expected I guess
-he should try to sell his sculptures
-I think Mac’s crazy to stay and pay the rest of the debt with their treatment. And again, he could go and pay it off from the new place, especially if he sells his house and business, he wouldn’t have to wait 2 more years.
-why can’t Quentin pick another nearby town to do the work? It’s not like he’s invested a ton of time in that one
Still, loved it overall and was so proud of Augustus at the end.

I really enjoyed the lack of tidy little bows in the resolution of this story. It was swoony but realistic.

Mac is one of my favorites of Nora’s characters and I am so happy with how Quentin treats him! Love this book!
