PositiveAll About RomanceStay and Fight is a powerful novel that haunts yet has derivative features that may give the reader pause. But overall, it provides a thought-provoking experience ... The novel portrays the pathology of delusion beautifully, but more importantly—hardscrabble and tough, smart and fresh— this book is unlike anything I’ve read all year. About real friendship and true love—and depravation, jealousy, denial and survival—it’s an oddball read that sucks a person straight in ... Part of this is unique, part of it feels like a Room rip-off. I leave it to the reader to figure out which part. Also Stay and Fight’s non-ending is pretty unforgivable, though it follows the general line of thought it has about there never ever being a real and permanent solution to any problem. But the strong spell of Stay and Fight is almost otherworldly. You will keep it with you for days as you allow it to spill its dark curtain around your shoulders. It’s worth a read, and is memorable, despite its flaws.
