Why read it?
1 author picked Apples as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I read this book because it’s set in my hometown, which doesn’t appear often in fiction. It’s full of places I know, and I enjoyed the quirky style and the way the story is told from some unusual perspectives.
