Many thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by a favorite, Wendy Walker - 5 stars!
Charlie is 17 years old, autistic, and desperate to leave small town Sawyer PA. Her mom got pregnant with her in high school and has never stopped letting Charlie know that she doesn't want her to repeat that mistake. Her stepfather has never been in her corner and now that they have 2 boys of their own, Charlie always feels left out. So her family is the people that work with her at the sandwich shop in town. When the shop owner, Clay Cooper, a man both feared and revered in town, is found dead, Charlie is going to keep her family safe at all costs.
Charlie is an absolutely amazing character, and I have my fingers crossed that Walker will give us an update into her life at some point! She has developed a set of rules to live by, that keep her focused on her goals. She has fierce loyalty to her friends, even when her own safety is at stake. She takes the investigation of Coop's murder into her own hands, coming up with a new rule - don't trust anyone. I've read fabulous reviews of the audiobook of this one, so I'm going to have to listen to that. But the book is highly recommended!
