Something is Always Happening Somewhere by Kelly McClure
5.0
Beautiful and heartbreaking. I hadn’t read and Kelly McClure prior to receiving this but I’m always on the hunt for queer reads (especially sapphic ones) so I was super excited to read this.
After establishing a sense of normalcy, this book immediately takes a sharp turn and our protagonist, Dale, will never be the same after what she’s experienced. I won’t say anything more in the interest of not spoiling, but this was a beautiful depiction of grief, what one person can mean to someone, and how families are built and torn apart.
This book can be incredibly funny at times but also has frequent dark moments. If you can handle that, I recommend “Something is Always Happening Somewhere” to any adults that can enjoy stories that can be hard to tell and read.
TW: sexual assault, violence, blood, death, minor homophobia
I received this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
