What Belongs to You by Garth Greenwell

3.0

I wanted to like this more. For a while, it was promising, and a solid 4-star rating. The writing is incredible, that is a fact. However, I was left wanting more out of the third act / end of the book, and felt the plot begin to disintegrate when there was an entire scene focused on a boy on a train that felt out of place to the narrative and derailed the story. And when the end comes, it's not satisfying. It's abrupt. There were some fantastic elements here, but they didn't come together the way I wished they had.
