Everything Sad Is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri
5.0
A beautiful book that slowly unfolds its stories one layer at a time in a non-linear fashion. Despite that cold, clinical description, the effect that this approach achieves is warm and emotion-filled. I don’t know that I can remember the last book that made me cry, but this story of a boy forced to leave his home brought tears more than once.
There’s a lot that could be said about the content of this book, but I’d suggest going in not knowing much about it. If that’s too frustrating, just know that it’s about family, crossing cultural barriers, refugees, and being thankful. Very much worth your time.
