Many thanks to NetGalley and Knopf for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Richard Russo. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
Tyler Sinclair left Stone Mountain at 18 with no plans of returning. Now, he's the famous frontman of a band called Stone Mountain, and he's returning to his hometown for the first time for a benefit to support his friend, Doc. The concert doesn't go as planned and things go terribly wrong afterwards.
After I read the prologue of this book describing Upstate NY, I was sold. Okay, I think the internet folks have said that this book has some questionable events and might well have been better suited to the TV series it was first imagined for. But I still thoroughly enjoyed it and could easily overlook the supposed flaws. Because it was still an interesting story, with morally gray characters and behaviors, in a setting that doesn't always allow for more. I'd bet it would make a really good TV series too.
