4.5

Another understated yet deeply impactful read from Claire Keegan. Foster is still my favorite but Small Things Like These packs a similar punch. I've always preferred when books and TV shows leave me wanting more rather than over-complicating or otherwise drawing out a narrative. Keegan achieves this expertly with her ambiguous endings that leave me feeling both unsettled and satisfied.
