Such Good Work by Johannes Lichtman

5.0

Wow, this was a fantastic, self-aware, heart felt, and hilarious novel. I devoured it in a day and a half. I was hesitant with its premise of a white guy dealing with addiction and working with refugees, but because the author was a friend from high school, I read it and I’m SO GLAD I did. This book is so much more than its premise. What really makes this book lovable and relatable is the narrator. I suspect I’m not the only one who saw myself in his hyper self-observation and skepticism of his own intentions, his insecurity and awkwardness, and his deep desire to connect and help. This is a pretty close to perfect book, and the first published from this author. I can’t wait to see what comes next from him.
