Family Meal by Bryan Washington
5.0

This book is a beautiful of addiction and redemption, where we watch a central character fail repeatedly, constantly trying to find his way out of the various challenges he finds himself in, but struggling not to repeat the destructive patterns he is used to.

I found the book to be incredibly affecting and clever in its portrayals of both complex issues but the nuances of how people interact with each other when that is all happening. Incredibly tender and thoughtful.

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
