Took me a bit to get into since the perspective switched between a number of characters but I was absolutely gripped once I understood how to read it. Fascinating and sad and heart wrenching and frustratingly unnecessary outcomes. 

I found Tommy Orange’s writing style to be unique and challenging but very approachable at the same time. He has a unique ability to inhabit each of the characters fully.
