A review by dullhilarity
Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind by Molly McGhee

2.0

This book was poor just like our protagonist, which is a shame, because I think it had potential. I picked it up because I heard comparisons to Severance (the television series), and while I get that a little bit, in order for me to fully enjoy it, it needed to lean into the weirdness far more than it did. As a book, it felt very uninspired and like the most debut-y thing I've read in a while, and I've read some very good debuts in the past. There was SO much telling and not showing. I get its intent, but it could have been done a lot better. The ending was also quite bad, I'm afraid.
