Save Yourself: A Novel by Kelly Braffet
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a little like reading a slowly smoldering firecracker. The characters are a perfectly wrecked set of small town folks, each set dealing with their own trials (some literal) and tribulations. But Ms. Braffet does an excellent job painting each scene, making each character full and real, instead of some hollow caricature.
I thought the book’s title beat like a kind of pulse throughout the whole story, driving to the end. Great read.
