dark informative reflective sad slow-paced

3.5

This book takes the topic of homelessness under a microscope by focusing on individual stories about homeless people this doctor met. I had a hard time getting myself engaged with any of the stories or getting myself to like the characters. I think a more broad big picture story about homelessness in Boston would have been more interesting to me.
