the storytelling in this is fantastic. And I read books for a living. |

| Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood. Prose that is like poetry. Wild imagination. |
+1 for this. I read it in 2020 and really loved it. Very moving. |
I almost put a caveat on my initial post - it's a very particular book with a very specific point of view. I think you'll either love it or really dislike it. There's a lot of violence. The bad guys are Bad Guys (without any nuance or lives outside of being bad people). But even with some flaws, it's a very good story. Too bad about the narrator - I would think this would make a good audio book, but the two voices of the two main characters are so different and so distinct that I imagine it's hard to do them both justice. |

This one was really weird. Certainly not the best, but worth a read. |
