Long After We Are Gone by Terah Shelton Harris

2.5

Loveable characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I liked the author's first book, so I eagerly picked up this one. The biggest difference is that in One Summer in Savannah, the characters were lovable and adorable, if quirky.

Here, I felt like the whole point was that they were unlovable.

Also, I must disagree with the author morally, because in both of the books, I felt like there was a wrap up on the wrong actions.

In Long After We Are Gone,

the message seemed to be that family defines who you are, that there's no escaping your family even though you might think you want to (that's just an illusion), and that violence is okay if justified. I was okay with the demolition of the house because it was forecasted throughout the book that they owned the house. But everything else, I strongly disagreed with.
