I absolutely love The Great Believers by Makkai but this one just didn’t hit the same. Felt way too long for the story and just all over the place.

I finished this book because Makkai is an excellent writer but this book was too slow for me. There was sone mystery but I didn’t like the characters.

really great in so many ways, deeply tainted by the fact that rebecca makkai does not understand cancel culture.
