What a fantastic debut, with characters who have lovely, full-fleshed lives. I'm so excited by the talent of Will Walton and so excited for everyone to have a chance to experience his work!

Tretch feels like someone you know, but he also feels like a piece of yourself. The story is easy and emotional and rich. It's impressive in every regard.

This book hit me like a fucking brick. Honestly, I'm blown away. I read this book on trains and planes, and in several cities. I read this book over the course of one month, and honestly each day has been punctuated by some part of it. I have poured more tears over this than I ever thought I would have when I bought it on a whim. I just feel changed and new and it was lovely and sad and funny and thoughtful. Take your time with it. Don't expect too much. Just let it breathe.
