“We need to be allowed to convince ourselves that we’re more than the mistakes we made yesterday. That we are all of our next choices, too, all of our tomorrows.”

This is a book about a lot of things: A bank robbery gone wrong. An absurd hostage situation. A parent trying to do what’s best for their children. A few idiots. A bridge. 

It is quirky, humane, wholesome. And a great reminder that being human is not easy and sometimes it’s best not to take ourselves, and others, serious all the time.
