A review by finallyfinnian
The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin

4.0

I'm conflicted about this book... I almost want to give it three and a half stars, but I'd hate for anyone to skip this book because of my review. It is a compelling story. Probably the most engrossing story I've read this year, if you think in terms of I started it and couldn't really put it down until I finished. The characters were believable and their relationships authentic and relatable. The premise is interesting and the author does a good job of not spoon-feeding the moral, the reader is left to decide something on their own, which I like.

There was some contrived drama and throughout a lot of the story, I kept having the feeling of reading my mom's old Danielle Steel books - particularly the ones that follow a whole family through the course of their lives.

Overall, it was enjoyable, well-written, and interesting. If you enjoy a good family drama, this is for you.
