You Don't Have to Say You Love Me by Sherman Alexie

elderwoodreads's review against another edition

emotional funny reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This was an excellent work from Alexie. I know others mentioned the repetitive nature as a negative, but I found it to be a really beautiful way of telling the story of Alexie's life. I also really enjoyed the non-linear nature of this story. I will be coming back to a paper copy at a later date for personal annotations.
