A review by esther_a_
May We Be Forgiven by A.M. Homes

4.0

Wasn’t sure I would like this one, many horrendous events happen in just the first few pages (and more to come) 
Very intense. 
It does jump about a bit and the text format with no clear chapters bothered me at first but I got used to it. 

There was a lot of characters, some not particularly relevant. Such screwed family dynamics and felt like a soap opera with how dramatic it could be.
‘Suburban insanity’ sums it up quite well. Some random parts but it’s a fairly good ending. Not exactly a conventional ‘happy ending’ but you wouldn’t expect that with this book.
Quite an emotional rollercoaster and there are a few beautiful heartwarming parts nearer the end.
I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it but I wanted to finish it, good writing and it definitely wasn’t boring!
