A review by kitkatsbookden
The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai

3.0

This one didn’t work for me. I was into it at the beginning but I kept waiting for something “big” to happen. Not that there weren’t some major events in the book but they felt really predictable. 

I did like the duel timelines and the ending, but the character of Claire and her family could’ve been delved into a bit more. 

Not upset I read it, but definitely felt like trudging through towards the end.
