A review by longbeachyreads
The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai

2.0

I really didn’t get this book… Lucy’s motive for “kidnapping” one of the young patrons at her library was interesting

(she wants to “save” him from his ultra-conservative parents who send him to a conversion camp because she feels like she could have prevented her gay friend from high school from committing suicide

, but didn’t feel well developed or addressed and certainly got fewer pages than

her father’s shady connections

.

Should have DNFed.
