A review by beccacraven
The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells by Andrew Sean Greer
4.0
*** I received a free copy of this book through Goodreads First Reads. ***
I really enjoyed this novel. As with any piece of fantasy, there are some plot holes that can unravel the whole premise, but those are easy to overlook in this case because of well-developed characters and interesting writing. This is a great piece of whimsy that also manages to tackle some complex (and intense) real-world themes, drawing parallels between very different parts of the 20th century in the process.
