This story has some darkish components that are reasonably ugly in locations, however these have been offset by some pretty chapters set in Vermont. I favored Morgan’s household and the brand new occupational household that she made whereas working at a resort bar. There are some fantastic secondary characters, notably a canine known as Howl, and I may simply think about extra tales written on this small city setting.
