Long After We Are Gone by Terah Shelton Harris
4.0
3.5 stars
I absolutely adored One Summer in Savannah, so I was really excited for Long After We Are Gone. While I didn't find it as compelling as One Summer, it was still an engaging read and I really appreciated learning about the complexities and inequities of land ownership.
While each sibling had their standout moments, I found Junior's story overall the most compelling and emotional for me. I enjoyed watching him grow and battle his inner demons and insecurities and finally accept who he is. I also loved Ellis, his character stood out the most and was the most likable. I found the end of Tokey's story to be the least satisfying, there were some scenes/behaviours where I actively disliked the character(s) and I still had a few questions by the end but it didn't really hinder my enjoyment.
Overall, this story didn't touch me as much as One Summer, however, it is still a worthy read.
Thank you to NG and the publisher for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
