They Tried Their Best by Kimlyn StanyonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of They Tried Their Best by Kimlyn Stanyon from the author via NetGalley. The book is available now.
I don't always read books just because of their cover, but I did in the case of They Tried Their Best by Kimlyn Stanyon. It is a beautiful cover! Yes, I was swayed by the dogs. I have a type. This is a novella that is billed as experimental and weird. I didn't find it that weird at all. That may say something about me. As a single woman, I could completely relate to the interactions the narrator has with the men in her life. That part felt very real. It probably isn't a bad idea to think about building a bunker now too. There is a twist that I won't give away. I think that might be the "weird" part. I liked it. I appreciated the illustration at the end. Cute! If you are looking for something different that you can read in a sitting or two, check this out. It is cozy dystopia.
Bonus points for Honey, Boo, and not selling out your best friends to save yourself. That would have been my condition too.
