Some reviews capture the emotional truth of a book in just a few lines, and this one, from Bill S on Amazon, does exactly that.
He writes:
“The metaphor for life was super powerful. I have not been able to shake this story. This got under my skin and stayed there. Though this is fiction, this cuts deep to reality.”
Upside Down succeeds because its metaphor is life, the quiet grief, the buried guilt, the versions of ourselves we hide beneath the surface.
Bill S’s reaction echoes what many readers feel the themes seep under the skin and the emotional truth feels frighteningly real
The upside down realm is an emotional landscape.
And when a reader says a book “cuts deep to reality,” that’s the highest form of praise a psychological novella can receive.
