A review by booksforbrooks
Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart

4.0

I've struggled to rate this one. Four stars seems to be selling it short a little however it didn't quite hit me in the feels quite as much as I wanted, so I'm loathe to give the full five. I read books like this for a good cry and while I experienced a massive range of emotions while reading this, I didn't full blown weep. Exceptionally well written though and I'm really glad that my book club picked this one for this month as who knows when I would have read it otherwise. An excellent read.
