The novel begins with Bennettโs return to Ann Arbor, driven by nostalgia and the faint hope of rekindling a past relationship. Instead of comfort, he finds himself pulled into an unplanned road trip that quickly becomes a study in the imbalance between youth and age, control and surrender, desire and obligation.
Bennett is a well written protagonist. Eichhornโs prose carefully tracks Bennettโs thoughts as he rationalizes decisions, absorbs discomfort, and avoids conflict, revealing how inertia can shape a life as powerfully as ambition. The supporting characters particularly Zoe and Hector act as destabilizing forces, exposing Bennettโs vulnerabilities and forcing him into situations that strip away his sense of control.
The setting of Ogallala functions as more than a backdrop; it becomes a symbolic endpoint where emotional drift meets consequence. Readers who ask difficult questions about choice, responsibility, and self-awareness will have a great time reading this book. The book is well paced and kept me hooked until the last page.
