I enjoyed this book and was pleased to see it was a deeper book than I thought

Maybe because I'm from a small town, but I'm always a sucker for books with small towns. Glory Days is a fantastic book from Melissa Fraterrigo, exposing the seedy, gritty side of a small town.

Told from various points of view, this is a visual book. You clearly see the town and the people and the life. You feel their pain, their love and their heartbreak.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

What did I think of the book, Goodreads asks? I think it's much too gritty for me. I kept trying to find a single character with redeeming qualities, or something that would help me understand why the author was compelled to tell this story, and I just couldn't come up with anything. Way too much cruelty, sexual assault and ghosts for me to even tolerate, much less enjoy.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I'm sorry I had to be so honest with this one.

The best part of this book was the setting being around the Glory Days amusement park. It was intriguing and described well. The characters were lacking in descriptions and emotional range. While Fraterrigo created an interesting dynamic it just didn't hold up.
