The Many Half-Lived Lives of Sam Sylvester by Maya MacGregor
3.0
3.5 stars
My favorite part of this book was for sure the queer and autistic representation, which was what I was excited for from the beginning. I loved Sam as a character and also especially loved their dad. This is definitely not a mystery book, but rather a contemporary novel with a mystery element. However, I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed by the mystery. This is a very slow book (certainly not a bad thing!) but I felt like I was losing interest in the mystery aspect because of that. It didn’t need to become a full-blown suspense novel, but I would have liked just a little bit more twists and turns. Still, I appreciate this story and would recommend it if you like quiet contemporaries!
(also sorry mori for taking a month to read this lolol)
