Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart

challenging dark emotional medium-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Not necessarily a great read but captivating because I needed to know how it would end.
