Leaving Isn't the Hardest Thing by Lauren Hough

challenging dark emotional funny reflective tense fast-paced

4.25

This was tough to read. I hope “Karen’s” wrist aches all winter long, every winter, and I think Lauren’s old roommate was the car-torcher (“Solitaire”).

Edit 11/19/2021: the outcome of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict is what makes books like this so essential. Read essays “Solitaire” and “Cell Block” for examples of the US (in)justice system in action.
