Thank you to the author for providing a review copy.
I'm sitting on my bed, having just finished the book, and my mind is completely blown. The fact that this book is a debut is astounding. Joseph Murnane is a tremendous writer.
I'm about to get real personal here. 9 years ago, I was a heroin addict - I almost died, I went to jail, I almost lost everything. This book picked that scab a bit. But the bleeding felt GOOD, felt like a reminder of what I'll never go back to. Murnane's ability to humanize and make you empathize with the characters is extraordinary. This book is a beautifully rendered gut punch. Strong 5 stars
