Give Me Some Truth by Eric Gansworth
4.0
I was given an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Gansworth's latest novel follows the formation of a band and their quest to win a Battle of the Bands through the viewpoint of two Native American teens, Carson and Maggi. I liked the distinct voices of these two characters, and the glimpse I, as a White reader, got into life on Carson's and Maggi's reservation. While the characters don't always make the best decisions, I found them to be well-developed and realistic individuals. There were times I felt like the plot meandered a bit, but I was invested enough in the characters and their journey that I kept turning pages.
Recommended for musicians and fans of music, particularly fans of the Beatles.
