True by Karl Taro Greenfeld

3.0

This is an honest middle of the road read for me. I couldn't put it down, the writing is approachable and draws you in. However, I was hoping for more of a narrative arc to the characters - not necessarily a redemption moment, but a moment of reckoning and clarity. The end was heartbreaking and honest to who the protagonist is, but I never learned if she continued to identify and work through trauma, if her father adjusted to having a special needs daughter, if Tomo committed the crime you think he did.

Open ended stories are generally a favorite of mine, but this novel just fell short for me.
