Picked up my #preorderbookclub books for August (People Like Us) & September (The Wilderness) at my local Indie bookstore. Of course I had to indulge myself with a few stickers, a “ NeverMore” raven pin & another book (A Good Hard Look).

pickIn this challenging & ultimately devastating follow up to Hell of a Book, two parallel storylines converge. One follows an author on a book tour arriving at a college campus devastated by a mass shooting, while the other follows Soot, an author on tour in Europe pursued by a larger than life stalker. At the heart of this book is a gun; everything it is and can mean, every way it can destroy a life. I will be thinking about this one for a long time
pickPeople Like Us is such a sly book. A sequel to Hell of a Book (though each can be read without the other, it‘s a laugh out loud funny ride that made me do just that several times. But then the sobering ending makes you realize that all along you‘ve been reading a book with weighty topics like gun violence, racism, suicide, and a place you are from making you feel like you don‘t belong. Really well done.
