I don’t know what it is about him, but he makes me feel like my hand is always caught in a candy jar.
I’m pretty sure that if I wanted to even get on Zaiah’s radar— really be on his radar— I’d have to throw away my phone, makeup, 99 percent of my clothing, take up making deer jerky and canning on the weekends, and start going on long walks while reciting Thoreau.
The woman, Hannah, seriously injured Mark and another person because she had been on her phone. This turned her life, and Zaiah’s life, and Mark’s, upside- down and she went to jail. Mark lost the use of his legs permanently. Zaiah feels guilt despite Mark’s forgiveness and rather impressive ability to forgive and make the most of his life. Zaiah is now single.
My Review:
This is a sweet and humorous tale with considerable insights about social media addictions and influencers that gave me pause and something to ponder. The main and secondary characters were uniquely endearing and inhabited story threads that were engaging and entertaining as well as informative and thoughtfully contrived. I enjoyed the breezy writing style as much as the main character’s journey and transformation.
