Faith Merino is a truly skilled writer that has the ability to conjure vivid imagery. Her debut novel certainly has several "things that make you go hmmm...", but it was compelling and moved along at a rather fast clip. The story and setting were melancholy and somewhat dark as the deeply flawed characters were put in unforeseen situations. Their impulsiveness constantly kept me guessing about what would happen next.
I'll admit, I struggled with several decisions made by the individuals, but at the same time, there was the understanding that this was all they knew. This knowledge allowed for some grace.
Many thanks to Blackstone Publishing and NetGalley for gifting me with this early review copy in exchange for an honest review.
