Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart
5.0
I wish I could rate this higher than 5. Absolutely gorgeous, wonderfully vivid storytelling.
Was it grim and depressing? Very, but I felt so heavily invested in the family's lives I found myself thinking about them often when I wasn't reading. I laughed out loud a few times and I teared up at others. I am NOT easily moved by dramas or coming of age stories generally, but this is now an absolute favourite.
