R. A. Ruegg

This was more than I thought it would be. The story follows Brio McPride, who is struggling with grief, identity, and unresolved issues from his past. It was emotional and engaging, drawn into Brio's world and feeling his struggles and triumphs. There were moments it was more explicit than I typically read, but I knew it was part of the storyline. The book is heart-wrenching and hopeful, offering a unique view of healing and self-discovery. I would recommend the book, with the understanding show more it is pretty intense in some the the areas. show less

I enjoyed reading this book. It was written beautifully. At times, Brio's thoughts were almost poetic. The story moved along at a good pace and I enjoyed the twists and turns. I thought the novel made some good observations about technology and its uses and misuses.
