A review by jnmfly
If We Were Giants by Clete Barrett Smith, Dave Matthews

5.0

I’ll admit it: I got this book because Dave Matthews’ name was on the cover. I had no idea what it was about and quite frankly, didn’t care! I. LOVED. This. Book. I blew through 300 pages in essentially a day, and I am a SLOW reader. After having read it, I’m still not entirely sure what I would say it is about if someone asked... It is one of those books that has a surface level story for younger readers but a lot of deeper themes like trauma, loss, guilt, inner strength, identity... wow.
