Absolutely loved this story. Praise for Bruce 10/10.
I was gripped from the first chapter. This story was very relatable to me as a school kid who was bullied and also in some of my adulthood life.
Midnights character and story will have readers reaching for the tissues one minute then laughing the next. I highly recommend this story to help give your day a boost. Can't wait to read the next book in this series by this amazing author. Bruce certainly has my vote - money well spent.
