Review of "Lisey's Story" on 'Goodreads'


"Reality is Ralph"


 


This book had a lot of great moments with takeaways that feel fairly profound while maintaining an exciting story arc. There are a few moments that feel like it could've wrapped up early but I think the way it comes around by filling out the story in a way I didn't expect was rewarding.
