My summer reading list. How many can I finish sitting out in the sun before I go back to work in 10 days? Gotta cram all I can into my days of medical leave!

pickI probably never would've picked this book up based on the title or cover so I am so glad my mom brought me her copy! Not far in I kept thinking why had I not heard of this book before or seen buzz about it? Then I realized it was first published ten years ago. Tense and gripping while also being a good character study. I think this is going onto my list of all time favorites, and I will definitely be looking for more of this author.
When I was only a little ways in I was already loving this book and wondering why I hadn‘t heard of it or seen any buzz about it. Then I realized it was published like ten years ago. I probably never would‘ve picked this book up on my own so I‘m so glad my mom brought it to me because she had liked it so much!
“One eye was horribly bruised, sealed entirely shut; down the other cheek a slash had been lovingly stitched. It was the shape of a big tick - Nike would love him.”
Can I just say how pleased I am that the second line was not changed for the U.S. publication? Thank you, St. Martin‘s Press, for not assuming we would think his cut looked like a blood sucking bug.
Yes, I hate when books are “Americanized”.
