A review by jaimeekate
The Hundred-Year Flood by Matthew Salesses

3.0

There's a strange sweetness to this short novel -- on the one hand, you can't help but feel protagonist Tee is way in over his head, but on the other hand, he's a 21 year old with a lot of baggage and more questions than answers. The trouble that finds him is not of his own making, which makes pondering his actions and his culpability in it all a fun internal mystery.
I think everyone will react a little differently to this story. Personally, I thought it was a nice little read. I wished it would have delved into the issues a bit deeper, and really explored the flawed nature of all of these characters, but I enjoyed it for what it was.
I look forward to reading more of Mathew Salases' work in the future.
