The 39 Deaths of Adam Strand by Gregory Galloway

4.0

I took forever trying to read this book (mainly because I started it during 2020 and the mood resonated a bit too closely to reality). I felt that Galloway managed to capture (sometimes in paragraphs, sometimes in a sentence) the thoughts that would pass through my mind as I encountered difficult or stressful situations or sometimes...even boredom. The ending was pretty good. Adam changed from going directly to attempting suicide to seeing that there are components of life worth living for and is emotionally healthier as his friendship with Maddy and Don Lemley developed. It just goes to show that you can never gauge the impact you can make on the lives of other people. I also liked how the town didn't make a big deal of it...after all Adam didn't want to make a big deal of it anyways.
