There There by Tommy Orange
3.5
In terms of themes there were so many that were intriguing, but I largely felt they were underdeveloped. There were also so many characters to keep track of that I often felt confused, and it was hard to form an emotional connection with any of them since we spent so little time with each before moving to the next, which ultimately made it difficult to care much about the events at the climax. I would’ve liked there to be another hundred pages or so to flesh things out more.
