The Truth of Right Now by Kara Lee Corthron

4.0

At first, I didn't like this book. But something about it just kept me holding on, and I'm glad I finished it. It was one of the most unpredictable books I've ever read. For real, it was insane. I haven't ever read a book like this before. The story is told by two characters, one in first person and the other in third. It's all centered around forgiveness and love, but in a twisted, complex way (also with mental illness and racism as themes).
I recommend it, but just know, the author was merciless when deciding the fates of her characters. Do not read this book if you like a solid resolution, I assure you something about the plot will leave you angry.
Even so, it was a nice switch from what I normally read, and totally transported me from my completely average high school life.
