The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai
4.75
Oh man, where do I even begin?!!???....
I'm currently writing this after crying over several chapters and the acknowledgements.
I appreciate the author for writing this book on a topic that was so taboo and effected a whole demographic of people that we as society try not to shed light on.
This was so moving and thought provoking that I know it'll be carried with me.
The only criticism I have for this was I didn't personally enjoy Fiona's side of the story (I was much more invested in Yale's journey) and I felt like her side didn't really lend much to the book until the very end.
Overall this was amazing, but will emotionally wreck you until all you want to do is cry and throw your book across the room.
