• Strong character development? Yes

4.5

Go As A River is a beautiful meditation on fate and hope and the courage to make bold choices and take the next step. It's about the interconnectedness of every choice. It's about a girl. A woman. A life. It's devastatingly sad and devastatingly hopeful. It was a great book club read. Its prose, poetic. Its pacing, tight. Its plot, a bitter pill to swallow with a healing warmth. 

If poetic prose and books that make you weep aren't your cup of tea, skip this one. But I thought it was delicious.
