The Names by Florence Knapp
4.5
challenging emotional sad fast-paced

Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This was a one-day read for me. I devoured it and couldn’t put it down (or rather, stop listening, as I consumed it as an audiobook!)

The premise and format was so unique and while the content was devastating, it was also so fascinating - the concept that a name could determine the trajectory of one’s life. 

This would be a great book club read, but trigger warning:  much of the story centers around domestic violence and abuse.
