Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich
4.5
challenging emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Other reviews state that this is basically "The Handmaid's Tale," but I honestly think we need more books like "The Handmaid's Tale!" This take on dystopia that controls women's bodies was relevant, sad, and thoughtful. The characters felt very real to me, and I really didn't think it copied too much from other books. Thought-provoking, sad, deep. Nice prose.
