So because of a shared love for pugs I was lucky enough to test read Kumquat. It was the first of his books I read that was not horror, I had yet to read Dweller and Kutter at the time, and it blew me away. For me it was the right book at the right time. Yes it's funny, laugh out loud funny in places, but there is also so much more underneath.  I won't waste time with plot summary here it's just not needed. What's needed is a way to express the heart that was put into creating the situations and characters on the pages.  It's not about finding hot dogs. It's about getting up.and doing something. It's about how we can never be ourselves until we let others in. We can't be who we are till we act with love and forgiveness to others. It's about doing things we don't want to do, things that take us out of our way, make us have to smell people that smell like wet pugs and such.  How Those things end up giving to us great things that we don't completely understand until we look back on them.  how it's never to late.  It's about how each and everyone of us is in the this rotten thing called life together. But also how it gets less rotten one action at a time.  Big or small each step each action ripples out and makes a difference. Sometimes we see it sometimes we don't. It's about everyone each one of us and how we all matter.  How opportunity strikes in the smallest things. So we best take care not hesitate when one appears.  Read this book if you need a boost if you feel alone. If things seem hopeless.  If life seems blah. It may just break you out of routine.Oh yeah it's about layers. How everything is layers. We just have to take the time to peel them back.
