How Lucky by Will Leitch
5.0

This is a captivating mystery told through the lens of a young man with spinal muscular atrophy. I found the method of storytelling quite unique and effective, that being the use of color and italics to refer to mental communication and the way how Daniel talks directly to the reader. This book touches on themes of death, friendship, and perceptions while still maintaining a tense main narrative. Overall, a beautiful debut.
