A review by readhikerepeat
The Dry Grass of August by Anna Jean Mayhew

4.0

This isn't the type of book I would normally pick up, but it had such great reviews so I thought I would give it a try. It started out a little slow (then again, it could just be because it's not what I would normally read...) but when it picked up I couldn't put it down. This was a book that will make you cry more than laugh. More than that, it will get that ball in the pit of your stomach to start burning (you know the one, the one that makes you mad at the injustices of the world).
