This is certainly one of the best books I read in the past year. It’s fresh and funny, yet somehow heartening and grounding. Here is what I wrote about it when first released:
This is the The Talented Mr. Ripley for the newest generation. It’s a twisting tale of identity and the search for true companionship. (read the full review)
Jansma’s debut novel comes out in paperback soon and I highly recommend it for the intelligent reader in your life. In the meantime, I have one copy to giveaway…
