A review by nbrickman
The History of Us by Leah Stewart

3.0

I wanted to like this book far more than I did and what it comes down to is essentially too much tell instead of showing and lack of nuanced character development. The heart and truth only seemed to resonate by the last 100 pages for me. I did however enjoy thinking about themes such as how our experiences shape who we are- how we can often use others as an excuse to deny who we are and how we tend to define ourselves by the idea of home and the places we think truly say who we are.
