A review by alexijai98
Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah

dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I can’t say I enjoyed this book, because enjoyed isn’t the right word. But I couldn’t put it down. It broke my heart and made me laugh and made me cry.
