The GRITTY MOB TALE aspect of this novel hilariously came from an observation on Harry Potter. Namely Hermione Granger’s bag of holding. While reading, I thought, “Thank god, Hermione uses that bag with ethics.”
Are you looking for a DARK ROMANTIC THRILLER?

Ted Lasso is brilliant. One of those laugh til you cry, then gut punch you with drama types. Shrinking is the same, and even though Harrison Ford in a comedy doesn't look good on paper, he's perfect for this cast. Worth a 30-day try on AppleTV+.
Happy watch: Ted Lasso or Shriking.
Revolution watch: Silo and Andor.
Crime/gangsta watch: The Penguin.

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight.

•Workers don’t make enough to live.
•WE KEEP LETTING IT HAPPEN. #EndCitizensUnited

Not gonna lie, I'm rooting for him. And any others that take up the mantle of Spartacus.

Funny how shit works.
