A review by mugglemom
An Atomic Romance by Bobbie Ann Mason

4.0

This was a great story of character(s). I felt like these were REAL people. The prose was excellent – I was involved in lives, the nightmare/dreams, the messy lives, and big “C”. The main character, Reed, is HUGELY flawed but his actions were so realistic, so fatal. Ugh, I hated him and I understood him.

This is not a big plot driven story and I understood that quite soon in the book – which explains the low ratings (after I finished I saw reviews). The ending leaves the reader dangling on a cliff of sorts but I appreciated it. This is a book that goes beneath the surface – just like the contamination…well played author, well played….
