Book Review: "How to Pronounce Knife" By Souvankham Thammavongsa

A collection of short stories, intricately woven together, with a novel idea.

For those of us who are thriller fans this was like going for Crossfit (High Intensity) to Yoga (mindful but slower paced).

I believe the author's message was wrapped up in the tolls of family heartbreaks and the relationship between immigrants especially Laotian and Americans and the struggles involved.

It was more a mental challenge than a super fast speed driven Ferrari.

I couldn't honestly find my place in this one even with Randy Travis (huge country gal born and raised) but even that didn't make the top of the list for me.

If short collection of stories bouncing from one idea to the next is your thing than pick this one up as you might enjoy.

Thank you to Souvankham, the pub, NetGalley, and Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
