I almost skipped How to Sleep at Night by Elizabeth Harris because of the intense political polarization we see in real life—but I’m so glad I gave it a chance. This book handles the topic with nuance and care.

The short chapters kept me hooked, and the characters feel incredibly real. You can’t help but empathize with their struggles as they navigate the tension between their personal beliefs and values, which often clash with those of their loved ones. At times, they even act against their own values, adding layers of complexity to the story.

A thoughtful and engaging read.

Thanks to William Morrow for an advance review copy of the book
