so-so2.5/5
On the fence... It's written well enough, but during my reading I kept wondering what was the purpose of this book, what was the objective of the author.
Also, I guess the subject matter didn't captivate me: a homeless man traveling around the US in a kayak... Yes, he's a colorful man doing something quite unusual and impressive, but reading about him for 250 pages?!
pickDeeply moving novel that explores themes of loss, betrayal, family, childhood trauma, friendship, motherhood, coming of age, self-discovery, forgiveness and the healing power of books. Set against the serene backdrop of a sleepy South Carolina town by the water's edge, this book makes for a perfect summer read, seamlessly blending family drama with a gripping missing person mystery. Loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚
