Masterfully written, The Measure gets you trapped in your own head and keeps you there until the very last page.
After having just come through our very own unprecedented times, it was difficult to read about these characters that you come to care deeply for navigate their way through life's greatest trials and tribulations.
Erlick does a beautiful job weaving a complex, high-concept idea with characters exploding with heart. You find yourself both lost in the story but also making greater connections to the world we actually live in.
Not an easy, light read if that's what you want, but deeply thought-provoking and one you won't quickly forget when you reach the end.
