This story is gripping and worth the read, 1000%. It's one of those stories that you'll think about for a long time. I found the intrepid main character Casey relatable and the setting was beautifully portrayed and as someone from Florida, I can say it was very accurate and intricately crafted.

Beautiful and challenging. The last line gave me chills.
