A review by skye_era_books
There There by Tommy Orange

Did not finish book. Stopped at 55%.

This book is a bunch of interconnected stories of people that are very loosely related to each other and it feels like the story is going nowhere. I think it is an important story to tell, but I just can’t do it anymore with this one. I wish Orange would have picked one story and written an entire book with it. This felt like a lot of started and unfinished stories. Also this book needs every single trigger warning you could possibly think of.
