Cherry

Description
National Bestseller

Now a major motion picture starring Tom Holland and directed by the Russo Brothers. A young medic returns from deployment in Iraq to two things: the woman he loves, and the opioid crisis sweeping across the Midwest.

In this "miracle of literary serendipity" (The Washington Post), after finding himself deep in the thrall of heroin addiction, the soldier arrives at what seems like the only logical solution: robbing banks.

Written by a singularly talented, wildly imaginative debut novelist, Cherry is a bracingly funny and unexpectedly tender work of fiction straight from the dark heart of America.

Prose without pretense, not a disingenuous bone in the author's body. Loved.

I guess i liked reading about how the main character tries to rationalize his addiction and spending habits when it comes to addiction, but i found the parts about going into the army to be very boring and over saturated. The style of writing is not the greatest but it’s not terrible. Its a good write for a debut novel but not something i’d reread.
