How The Cookie Crumbled
As sole heir to the Bredahl Cookies and Cakes fortune, Casper led a comfortable, happy-go-lucky life. Some would say, a charmed life.
Sure, there were challenges: relentless pressure to join the family business, and his unrequited feelings for former high school crush Raleigh Jackson. But yeah, a charmed existence, compared to life after being arrested for murder and spending nearly a year in Chippewa Falls County Jail, awaiting trial.
Exoneration, freedom, came at too steep a price. To say Casper isn’t in the mood for the holidays, is putting it mildly. In fact, the only thing he wants for Christmas is to see Detective Raleigh Jackson, the man responsible for wrongly putting him behind bars, get his just desserts.

Casper's partner Detective Raleigh Jackson helped put him in jail for a murder he did not commit. Once exonerated Casper is literally and metaphorically struggling with the profound silence and physical toll of truly being alone. In jail Casper because use to living in an environment constantly filled with sound. Even if you were alone, you were not alone. And while incarcerated Casper had the illusion of a support system waiting for him on the outside.
Once free from being held in jail Casper's body viscerally rejects the deafening silence of his new life. You can feel the confusion he grapples with when he sees that he both loves and hates Raleigh. You can feel the weight he carries knowing he has no more family. He has a huge estate but no one to fill it. This hate and loneliness become a new prison for Casper.
In "Lemon Drop Kid" Josh explores how two things can be true at once, and sometimes you have to decide to be happy over being "right" because what hurts less? Forgiveness or holding onto fractures? And that's not perfect or ideal but it is what it is. And Casper doesn't paint everything over with a brush to smooth out the edges. It's not perfect and that's okay.
It's from wading through the sludge and darkness that the characters learn to appreciate the glimmering moments of "stillness." It's perfect in it's imperfection. Casper and Raleigh learn to love people based on their entirety.

The narrator, Andrew Gibson, did a great job of giving life to the characters. I think his voice was particularly well suited to this story. I am looking forward to the possibility of more stories with this author and narrator combo.
Good story. Good narration.
