Sometimes I think content of essays could have been better delivered through the experiences of the characters, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Enjoyed might even be the wrong word. I enjoy it in hindsight but the book lets you know early on that this is no happy ending kind of story and you feel the dread of events being pulled toward than unhappy ending like a black hole. You feel the dread as you wish anything would turn events away from what must happen. This book is excellently written and I cannot wait for Tommy Orange's next book.
