This is a unique feeling entry into the crime genre. It felt grounded and down to earth.
The characters felt real and as though they had lives of their own even when we couldn’t see them.
When we start the story, the main character — Max — is just getting out of prison and is convinced that this time, he won’t be going back.
Finally wanting to go straight gives Max fresh eyes to look at the world through and he slowly sees how hard it is for a man with a criminal past to get a second chance.
I’d definitely recommend this book.
