I picked up this book because Kelly told me to and then Shaun David Hutchinson shamed me for waiting. Plus it was on sale and now I can't figure out why more people haven't consumed it. Maybe because it will consume you.

“But boys will be boys, our favorite phrase that excuses so many things, while the only thing we have for the opposite gender is women, said with disdain and punctuated with an eye roll.”

How do you describe a book that is literal perfection? The writing? On point. The subject? Timely. The characters? Ideal. The story? Incredible.

Brutal. This book is brutal. It's brutal because it's real. It's brutal because reality sucks. It's brutal because the main character murders a man within the first few pages and you're like, "Yeah, I get it."


There are laws in place that stop us from doing things. This is what we tell ourselves. In truth we stop ourselves; the law is a guideline for how to punish someone who is caught.


You will go through every emotion when reading this book. You'll mostly be angry. There will be tears. You might throw your book across the room (and then you'll run to pick it up). If you can grab it over audio, I highly recommend as it's told in three POV. The ending may break you.
