Will I love Fight Night?

The young, unique voice of the narrator pulled me right in. How she was able to evoke strong emotions and the sense of loss without EVER appearing self-pitying. I adored the subtle humour and quirky, relatable characters.

Wonderful insight into human nature and I loved the eccentric characters. There are many heartwarming scenes but some hard reality as well. A great read!

Miriam Toews has an incredible writing style that is somehow whimsical and also serious, and this book is no exception.

I fell so in love with the characters in this book that I didn’t want the story to end. The novel follows young Swiv, a quirky and fierce kid who is dealing with a lot of very grown-up issues as she navigates an absent father, a feisty grandmother, and a single mother.

While this might sound like a Young Adult novel, it is very much a book for adults, which just shows how talented Toews is at using the voice… show more.
