A review by khopeisz
We Are Together Because by Kerry Andrew

4.0

I had no idea this was a dystopian novel; I typically dont read dystopians (gesturing to the world), but dang this book was a compulsive read. Finished in one sitting. Stayed up until 3 AM, I haven’t done that for a book since I first read Rebecca as a teenager.

Wish there had been more of a resolution to the dystopian lavender Them, but I’m interested in viewing the end of the world here as more of a metaphor a la Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia. A metaphor for what exactly I’m not sure. Also, I do not speak French, so I’m not sure if there was anyone suggesting The Rapture for the reason of the
mass disappearances
, or is this like an American religiosity? Also I need answers about why
Luke was described as having died but everyone else disappeared?
 

This would make an excellent book club read; the discussions alone would be very interesting. I’m grateful for the experience of having read this book.
