I enjoyed this story very much especially knowing that it was written and published by a local author It isn t often that I binge read an entire book in a day but this one had me hooked from the beginning I look forward to reading from this author Paperback This book knocked me off my feet Being a Sarnia native I obviously couldn t pass up the opportunity to support an author whose book takes place in my hometown but after reading a couple chapters I knew this book was a game changer Kilbride writes with such honesty and emotion and delves into such a raw reality I almost couldn t believe I wasn t reading a biography I was an emotional mess in the two days it took me to devour this book I was heartbroken relieved scared shocked and elated sometimes all in a matter of pages Katie is a character I was genuinely invested in I rooted for her through the whole book like a friend and genuinely wanted her than most protagonists to find her happy ending. Deadweight vs gross tonnage All in all I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who appreciates genuine storytelling Easily one of my favourite books I ve read in a long time Paperback I ve had mixed luck with the self published novels I have come across so far Some while having potential to be great probably could have done with several additional edits to say the least Occasionally I m lucky enough to come across a gem as I did with this one. Dead weight quotes It s obvious Karen knows her characters well the amount of minor details that are woven in amongst the story serves to give us readers the chance to get to know them too And have our hearts broken to cheer for them And maybe occasionally cringe at some words they said or decisions they made Katie is a strong character who became that way out of a necessity to survive the traumatic childhood she endured Sometimes I was in awe of her strength Sometimes I was frustrated with the decisions she made Or heartbroken when she worked so hard for something and it still didn t work out in her favour I m glad I took a chance with this one Paperback Clear your schedule if you pick up this book you will not want to put it down once you start The protagonist is a compelling girl then young woman who you ll find yourself rooting for offering mental advice to crying over and cheering on through the whole novel Bracingly realistic portrayals of emotional abuse and parental neglect bring home the often hidden reality of too many children around us Written by a Southwestern Ontario author this is an ideal novel if you re looking to devour realistic local details ride a cathartic wave of emotion and support an up and coming Canadian writer Paperback Excellent first novel by up and coming author Karen Kilbride I was reading a popular Stephen King novel when Dead Weight landed in my hands I opened it to read the first few pages and never put it down I was thrilled with the characters the plot and the few references to areas near where I grew up Rarely does a first novel by an author catch my interest and have me flying through the pages like Dead Weight did I can t wait to see what Karen Kilbride comes up with next Big fan here Paperback

Deadweight loss graph One must work so the other can play Throughout their entire lives one must give so the other can take But what happens when the scales are tipped Set in small town Ontario Dead Weight s memoir style writing and sharp dialogue bring lovable characters to life in a raw and relatable story about the bonds of sisterhood Dead WeightI was excited to start this first novel by my childhood next door neighbour but somewhat afraid to be let down After only reading a short bit one evening I can say disappointment certainly does not appear to be on the horizon The book reads like an express train couldn t wait to turn each page The characters seem highly real and I m than a little afraid of where this novel is going I don t expect to get back to this for quite a while since I m in the middle of Shogun of all novels But certainly so far this book is extremely good Now finished and enjoyed this book quite a bit Bit of a slowdown in the middle but did quite enjoy the end Also must say I found myself distracted quite a bit during the read wondering how much fiction and how much truth was here due to my knowledge of the author and her young days Recommended for sure Paperback.
