​
This is a novel that makes the reader feel the full gamut of emotions in a seamless and comfortable way. There were times I talked out loud as I read, times I referred to certain characters in my daily conversation as though I truly knew them, and times I simply refused to put the book down. Brook Blander's use of local color and poetically detailed descriptions bring the reader directly into the town of Mercy and into a connection with its residents. Read. This. Book. You can come back and thank me later ;)
