The Mortal Tally by Sam Sykes
5.0
Broken people. Broken people make life interesting. Broken people make bad decisions based on the same evidence that "unbroken" (boring) people make. Broken people then compound their bad decisions with mistakes and bad actions. Every step of this story, you want to scream at the main characters - and I mean that as a compliment. Because while you can see that the decisions they're making are the wrong decisions...it completely makes sense to them and to you. This is how people behave.
That's the biggest compliment I can give to a work of fiction. These broken characters seem so real in their pain, sadness, anger, confusion, and "broken-ness" that the bad decisions they make, which compound on each other, completely make a certain kind of sense. Anxiously looking forward to reading installment #3.
