Before the dust has a chance to settle, she learns her mother is sick back in Cleveland.

Customer Reviews

It’s great, and I don’t know why

It’s hard to explain why I loved this book so much. It wasn’t until I put it down that I realized how much it impacted me.

I question everyone's surface appearance.

After reading this I question everyone's surface appearance. White whale is an instant hilarious visual. Cover to cover this is a cinematic read. I was really invested in seeing Mims journey to the end.

Really underrated

This is a really great read and I'm surprised it's not more popular. I've already told my friends to read it
