A review by ambersbooks
Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart

challenging dark emotional sad tense slow-paced
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Definitely not an easy read by any means, and you don’t hear a lot of Shuggie’s voice until the second half. Fully character-driven. Broken family. A lot of trauma.
