An American Dreamer: life in a divided country by David Finkel

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

This is such a hard subject to cover and although Finkel chooses a very narrow perspective it's so reflective, at least for me, of what was happening all around me and in the country. People being completely lost to misinformation, conspiracy and false hope of a wannabe dictator Trump. How it challenged and still is challenging relationships with family and friends if not ending them. I lost a lot of people over the last 8 years. This book could definitely trigger many and for a large swath the minute it disparages Trump they will probably throw it out. Even tho they are the ones that need to read this content the most
