The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry

Amazing literary references throughout the book made this story so engaging to a bibliophile/short story fanatic like myself. And, A.J. Fikry's whole life seemed truly unpredictable. I never knew where the book was going next. I liked that. And it touched me emotionally, which books rarely do.

I suppose my one freakout about this book had to do with the ending, which I won't spoil here. However, as someone who has had a few medical issues of a similar nature, it made me worry. That aside, it's a truly well-written book with just the right number of words and characters to make it detailed but not exhausting.
