The Last Romantics by Tara Conklin

4.0

---

I enjoy books like this more than I enjoy most books. They are a mess of emotions and explore the tangled mess that can become a family. It's hard for me to explain what books like this mean to be, and I don't think I'll attempt it here. I feel seen by books like this, seen in a way that is similar yet so different from the way We Are Okay and We Are the Ants don't. I loved this novel, and the only thing keeping it from a five star is the lack of tears shed while reading.
