It's obviously not a book for everyone, but it somehow hit me right in the feelings spot. Polk's ability to create a world, develop multiple characters with interconnected relationships I care about, and do it all with humor and grace and a historical world that is realistic is something to be deeply admired. I've never read Polk before, but I'm excited to see what they can do with more longform writing. They have a trilogy called The Kingston Cycle that I'm going to try and get my hands on because if this brief 133 page book was so enthralling, I can't imagine what they can do with three full-length novels.
4/5 stars
