I picked up this book at my local Costco because it had a sticker that read “Netflix Original”. My goal was to devour it before it hit the screen. If the masters at Netflix manage it well, this adaptation should become an instant hit. Why? It is a tale about suicide, the people that pushed […]
When I picked this book up I misunderstood the premise. I thought it was about the multiple lives of one dog with many families.
