This book was good. The characters reminded me of people I knew and had development and growth. The writing style was easy to follow and I enjoyed it. There were moments here and there where it was sort of like ‘could this really happen?’ And it was almost like you had to suspend some disbelief but considering the short story aspect it wasn’t too bad. It was just believable enough because with enough human grit and ingenuity…maybe they could have done some of those things in that time.
From a technical standpoint it probably doesn’t stand up to scrutiny as much, from an emotional standpoint it does. Mixing the two two it does alright.
This is an ARC but a late one so I’m not going to post it as such since it’s already published now (it was published 1-Jan-2026) I have my moments of doing very well with ARC’s and then like this one I faceplant in the mud. Then there’s the ones from like 2024 where I didn’t realize they were ARC’s on Amazon First Reads so…yeah. That’s why I posted this part at the END of my review. I still want to thank the publisher and author for this even though I have egg on my face for the late response.
