A seriously good read, one you won't easily forget, as the characters attach themselves to your heart. The writing is flawless, with lovely southern phrases and quirky people, told from the first person perspective of a young man, looking back at a pivotal summer of his adolescence.
Like melted butter on a hot biscuit, the story flows perfectly to the end, even between the two time periods. It had me laughing out loud (so often that I had to read aloud sections to explain why), sighing and gasping, feeling angry and sad, sometimes all on the same page. Stayed up late just to find out how it all resolved. Glad that I skipped the synopsis on this one and just let the story unfold on its own; so much better that way.
A moving coming of age story, heartfelt and timeless, an instant add to my favorites list. Highly recommend! 5+ stars!
