A beautiful story. 

I had an immersive experience with this book, the characters in the story resonated so strongly with the people I know in real life. 

As I was reading I could see everything as if it was a movie. It’s going to play on my mind for a while. 

Moses McKenzie now why did you end Cuba’s story like that. Whyyyyyyy?

Thus he would keep me tucked firmly under his wing, and any deviation, any expression of individuality, would be crushed under the weight of the Word and I would be banished to eternal Hell for my sins. And it was because of this power he held over me that I was the one man he could bare himself before.

The best book I've read this year!
