Strangers and Cousins by Leah Hager Cohen

3.0

Barely 3. The summary of the story should be a home run for me, but the writing was so stilted and disjointed it often felt like a slog. I wanted to love it but by the end I was glad to be able to pick up something else. That said, the actual story was good and brought out deeper questions to consider about community and who gets to decide how it evolves. And I really liked the characters! The characters felt very real. Sigh. This could’ve been a home run.
