This books actually really surprised me with how much I enjoyed it - compared to some other King books, the synopsis didn’t seem as interesting. That being said, I was totally freaking hooked by this book. I’ve loved Holly in The Outsider and his other novels, and this book absolutely delivered. The mentions of Covid occasionally got a little heavy handed, but otherwise, I greatly enjoyed it.
