You Don't Have to Say You Love Me by Sherman Alexie

4.0

Amazing, as always. Beautifully written and crafted, enlightening (sadly) to my white self, and emotionally true. This is really a 4.5. The only reason it's not five is because as much as I love the quilt metaphor and that every piece of the quilt is integral to the whole and agree that circles and repetition are healing, I thought there were places it could've been tighter. Then again, as I kept reminding myself, whose intensely personal story is ever (should ever be) "tight?"
