Our Endless Numbered Days by Claire Fuller
5.0
I rarely give a book 5 stars. For me it has to be a book that holds you, touches you and stays with you. I did not want to stop reading this book, Peggy's narrative never felt tired and I will remember this story for a long time.
With so few characters it would be easy for the writer to bore the readers with too much information on them. But Fuller's choice to tell this story from Peggy's point of view is genius. What you get is the thoughts of a kid that never quite gets to grow up in a conventional way. One who takes as truth whatever she is told. There is a brutal honesty, a real sense of lost innocence and naked humanity here.
This book is fantastic and I will be telling everyone about it. Everyone.
