As with so many books I've read lately, it felt like it took me forever to get through the first fifty pages, I considered abandoning it multiple times, but I persevered and really liked it after all.

I think it's about coming of age, the power of art, and whether or how things from our pasts shape us years later. 

The parallels between the rise of the Nazis during WWII and the 2016 election were really depressing to read, and frankly, reading it in Florida in early 2023 is difficult.
