This completely destroyed me and is definitely one of my favorite reads of the year.
Yes it's slow and often feels hopeless which I think is intentional. I really felt the sadness, anger, and despair as well as the strengths and dreams of the different characters and overall community of people in this novel.
And as much as I enjoyed "Behold the Dreamers," I personally thought this book was even better.
