I could talk about these characters for ages. Some beautiful prose that brought be back to moments in my life. Also, the way the author wrote about feeling alone in college was particularly poignant for me. Slow-paced, but I believe for good reason as I think it adds and coincides with the story. Unlike some, I get the hype.

Really enjoyed it while reading. I want to read every novel set in a blue collar town. Semi-likable characters, but didn't find all of their reactions, decisions, and interactions believable for how they were set up. Overall, I'd call it a modern gothic fantasy world worth exploring.

A female John Grisham novel. I enjoyed the plot, although I may have had to suspend reality for a bit toward the end. I'm okay with that - that's why I read. Genuinely peaked my interest and I was excited to see where the story went. As a lawyer, didn't always love Madison and what she portrayed. I actually enjoyed the judge and her story much more; I would have read a whole novel on her alone.
