I'm biased, because it's set in my hometown, but I was blown away by this novel! Read it in one 3 hour sitting, rooting for the protagonist to make it through one wild night.

DNF. Punctuation exists for a reason. I understand Murray’s attempting to convey a sense of manic in a character, but leaving it up to the reader to decipher whether a capitalized word is a proper noun or the end of the sentence does nothing helpful for the flow of a story. #booksky
