Last two of my Book of the Month Club reads --
A quick read that started a bit slow but then took an unexpected turn. Entertaining. File it under beach read category.
I will have many wonderful things to say about this book for years to come. It is controversial for sure, as evident by all the diverging Amazon reviews. I only went to read those after I finished this book, to get a sense of where I am in the spectrum of opinions. I will say this - it is not for the faint hearted. It is neither light nor fluffy. It touches on dark subject matters concerning people living on the edge of society. It challenged my values and sense of right/wrong, interjecting all shades of gray where it was clearly black and white before. Take home message - people lead complicated lives that are every bit as real as yours and mine. Don't be so quick to judge.
Another heavy read for these heavy times. Not sure how this one escaped my radar for so long. I might be hopping right over to hulu to watch the miniseries.
