I really struggled to get into this book. I made it about half way through then came back to it almost a year later. As someone that doesn't like sports, I really hated how much basketball scenes there were especially in the first half. In second half, I spead through it and finished it in one sitting. The reflection of general trauma and mistakes impacts every culture differently. I enjoyed the second half of this dark mysterious thriller. I now understand why it was recommended to me.
