Pickpick

I don‘t typically read literary books, but I needed to read HALF for tonight‘s James River Writers “Writing Show.” I was pleasantly surprised by Harrigan‘s book. What made this a pick for me is the thought she put into structuring this story. Also, I keep thinking about it. She‘s created something clever and thoughtful about the relationships that make us who we are, and why some last and how even the deepest connections can fracture.
