Perfect

Published by Kpc1109 , 10 months ago
This is the second book I’ve described as perfect- this first was The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by the same author. This man can WRITE. His characters, their stories, his writing… they make your heart ache. The story involves an entire neighborhood and keeps you engaged the whole time, leaving you with the belief that the sun of men is better than their parts.
