Rating: 4/5
So sweet and tenderly told. At first, I thought it might echo The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time or The Rosie Project; however, this story quickly found its own charming voice.
We meet Denny, a young man with cognitive challenges due to complications at birth. Raised with love and fierce loyalty by his Nanna Jo, Denny navigates the world with innocence, honesty, and a gentle humour that stays with you.
He gets arrested for murder. What stands out most is the purity of Denny’s perspective. It is a quiet, moving read about love, and resilience.
