3.0 out of 5 starsmeh needs more Marcellus
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 9, 2023
Nothing really happens in this book and the author didn’t really give me enough reasons to care about Cameron, whom I found annoying.

I would take an entire Marcellus book though. He was really the only highlight. Otherwise meh.

4.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant read

Overall this is a nice little story that I enjoyed reading. And the cover is beautiful! The only negative, and this is very much a personal thing, is that none of the main characters are very likeable (except the non-human one). They are all deeply broken people who are completely engulfed by their past pain. I spent the entire book yearning for them to just be open with themselves and others, but they are in various modes of withdrawal and shut down. The growth they do experience feels unrealistically sudden and happens in the final few pages, to wrap the book up on a happy note. Still, I did enjoy this read, especially the chapters narrated by the non human character.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Rare Read

This novel takes the reader on a journey that stretches their imagine yet, at the same time, strokes the cords of familiarity. Humour, sadness and struggles with life’s challenges wind it all together. Looking forward to hopefully many more novels from Shelby.
