What would you do if you were offered $200,000 cash to transport a woman and a large black box across the country? You cannot look inside the box. You cannot ask questions. You cannot tell anyone. You must leave immediately. And you must leave all trackable devices behind.
This was such a crazy ride! Being my first book of Pargin, the chaos and craziness combined with heart warming and humorous situations, was completely unexpected. And while some reality needs to be suspended, I also kept thinking, “Well, I guess that could probably happen.” As per most of the reviews, there is a lot of social commentary in this book. The dialog around the commentary is thought provoking in my opinion. It should be “the start of a conversation, not the conclusion” per the authors notes. Each of the characters was flawed in their own way. While totally fictional, most were recognizable, and they showed growth over time. Unfortunately. I do feel like this will be a decisive book and you will either love it or hate it. I do hope it prompts conversations and I actually loved it.
