Oliver Loving by Stefan Merrill Block
5.0
Oh man this one got me. I listened on audio because Michael Crouch is the narrator and he’s truly amazing. So sometimes I wonder if his narration partially makes the book for me. He also read THE GREAT BELIEVERS and THE KNOCKOUT QUEEN, which are both in my top five, so I always wonder how I’d feel if I read the books rather than listened.
Anyway, this one is heavy. Deals with the aftermath (in a general sense) of a school shooting and how events before, during and after spiraled into what became of everyone ten years later and how it changed the Loving family. I loved the pieces slowly falling together throughout the duration of the book.
I’ve got a book hangover from this one for sure. I was deeply invested. Sigh.
