You Don't Have to Say You Love Me by Sherman Alexie

3.0

Alexi’s style was hard for me to get used to at first. After a while, I was all in. The pages turned quickly and though my background is entirely different, I found the author highly relatable. My other complaint was the repetition of the material. While I know that this is a collection of essays and poems, I felt it could have been edited a bit more carefully. In the end, Alexi accomplished his goal, a memorial to his mother with whom he had a complex and at times contentious relationship.
