Thank you to Ben Young for providing a review copy.
This is a very ambitious, impressive debut novel. I was interested in reading an ARC of this book because of the cave aspect. I'm severely claustrophobic and that is one of the only horror subjects that can get a rise out of me. I went into Stuck expecting one thing and got quite another. But that's not a bad thing. The twists and turns kept me on my toes, and even when things started to come together I loved the journey. I feel it's best to read this book semi-blind so you can let the narrative surprise you. I'm definitely a fan, and will be on the lookout for future titles by Ben Young.
