Nothing groundbreaking, but a nice little novel nonetheless. It follows Cooper, and his daughter Finch, as they live in the woods to hide from his past.
I feel like I’ve read / watched versions of this story a bunch of times (traumatized man with a dead wife hides out with his kid(s) in the woods, like Captain Fantastic or Leave No Trace). And even though it’s a fairly common trope, it’s still a good one! I found the book engaging, and certain parts were even moving. I grew to really like the characters, even the side ones that were only on-page for a short amount of time. Nice little novel for anyone to breeze through in a day or two.
