The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta

4.0

It’s impossible for me to review this as a book because the HBO series remains so impactful for me. Sorry Tom Perotta, but I’m only really able to process this as a companion to the show—and it’s great! It doesn’t go as many wild places as the show ultimately does, but the muted-yet-profound weight is still effective here. The book’s impressive on its own, and the show is even more impressive than I’d realized for how it was able to draw out different interpretive strands.
