Cherry is an explosive gut punch of a story that never lets up! The characters, their warped relationships with one another and their conversations were so vivid and realistic it was unsettling. I was hooked from the very first page. It’s a perfect portrayal of the endless cycle of addiction, PTSD and a failed support system. The desperation these characters clung to each other with, the constant planning around the next “fix” to the point where nothing else matters was intense and arresting. Nico Walker you really did send it home! ~ Reviewed by Liz Barnum
