The book is called Crazy Time, and let me tell you that the title is accurate. There are a lot of religious references and undertones in this book; however, this is not a book about religion. This story centers around a woman named Lily who goes through a series of unfortunate events in her life. The beginning of the story starts fast, with Lily going through a traumatic experience after a night out with friends that would give anyone PTSD, but it does slow down. At times when reading this book, you and the character cannot decipher whether sometimes it is real or a hallucination. Without giving spoilers out, I will say that Lily's journey is a wild ride. This is not a traditional good vs. evil story. Lily questions everything as strange events unfold around her, and so do you. If you have ever had the feeling that the world is against you, then you can relate to some of the events that happen in this story. I will say that there are trigger warnings: domestic violence, violence, and suicide. All of that being said, toward the end of the story is where the author lost me, and I started to lose interest in where the story was going. This is the main reason why I give it 2 out of 4 stars, 3 out of 5.. By the time I got to the end, I just wanted the book to be over. The end of the story made me feel like I was crazy. I am not sure if this was the intention, and if it was, then he hit the nail on the head. Between the religious undertones and the confusion of the characters sanity I personally would not recommend this book, but someone else may enjoy it.
