⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book is comically heartbreaking. And Pearl endures so much to become herself and her makeshift family is just something to behold. Though there are times you will feel the need to turn your head. #recommend #listy #fiction

A coming of age novel about a girl squatting in an abandoned boathouse with her father and two other men. As she roams and thinks about her former life, she encounters a group of teenage boys who want to be YouTube stars.

This is noir, but written by a poet unwilling to abandon hope.

The prose here is astonishing and many of the scenes are sublime. But, the whole, in this case, is not greater than the sum of the parts. The story was somewhat disjointed and hard to follow. #netgalley
