There There
by Tommy Orange
I enjoyed this overall but didn't love it as much as I thought I would! the two main things i didn't like were: 1. I thought there were too many characters for how long the book was - I just felt like we barely scratched the surface, and because there were so many I also kept forgetting some people 2. i didn't love how the characters were written in general. i never really <i>felt</i> most of them; instead they generally felt more like vessels for larger ideas. and as a character person that was such a bummer because i felt like they could've been vessels for those larger ideas while still feeling real and more 3-dimensional.
i liked the writing in general and there were some beautiful lines, but a lot of it felt more tell-y than show-y.
anyways thought this was gonna be a five star but oh well, glad i finally read it!
