The Wives of Los Alamos by TaraShea Nesbit

1.0

Using the first person plural to set the tone for the story was a fine idea, but writing the whole story like that basically dehumanized everyone in it because all of the wives were more or less treated as the same person having the same thoughts. I really wanted to read a book about the women behind the scientists at Los Alamos, but instead I read about a weird hive mind of women who couldn’t stop talking in the first person plural. By the third chapter it got really old because there were essentially no characters and no detail.
