A review by rainbowbookworm
The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta

3.0

Tom Perrotta's characters are usually flawed. Let's face it, a lot of them a seriously effed up. However, he writes them in a way that makes them relatable. Even if they are living through unimaginable situations--say being left behind during what seems to have been the Rapture--we follow their stories and try to put ourselves in their shoes. In the end, what I like the most about Perrotta's books is his gift for making even the unlikable characters endearing.
