A wonderful, emotional, important and romantic read. I have waited so long for this book to be released and it checks every single box. Oh the feeling of mile-high expectations actually being fulfilled: pure bliss. Again, I just wanted more, but some moments never come to fruition. I found myself many times wishing this scene or that conversation more fully played out, but the author often plays it close to the chest. The development of familial attachments alongside romantic and platonic ones could have carried a lot more vivacity. In addition, Deaver builds believable secondary characters but they beg for more page time. For most of the novel, the plot just plods along. The book's heart does not always help it overcome much of its dryness. That said, my primary critique of Deaver’s novel is a longing for more. What follows is a story that is both tender and devastating, a reminder that the body’s need to speak its truth is primal and profound and that compassion and love can overcome hate and intolerance. What we see is Benjamin, barefoot, walking to a payphone to call an estranged sister they haven’t seen, or spoken to, in a decade. The reader is spared the immediate fallout-but the imagination conjures up enough horrors.
