Carrick feels like a Midwest Holden Caulfield

So many meetings of opposing ideals.
Sobriety and drunkenness. The ocean and the land. The expectations and the reality.

There is so much colour in this book. Pink dawn, black clouds, yellow kayak, and the green and the gold of the rural landscape, the seasons and the promise of something new.
