White Rabbit, by Caleb Roehrig
Today at Kirkus, I'm talking about Caleb Roehrig's White Rabbit:
If you like stories that deal with class hierarchies in everyone-knows-everyone towns; stories about the seedy underbellies of supposedly idyllic communities; stories that feel cozy in their usage of traditional structure but modern in their sensibilities, White Rabbit is for you. It’s that very last element that really made this book a home run for me—stories that work as Comfort Reads while also feeling fresh and surprising are few and far between.
I really loved this one, and I'm so looking forward to going back and reading Roehrig's debut novel, Last Seen Leaving.
