We the Animals by Justin Torres
5.0
I could not put this book down as though it was a case of binge-watching Netflix. Truly captivating and enticing.
Although much praise claims it a coming-of-age spectacle, it seems more like a discovery-of-age; the first shocker being within the chapter "Seven". This novel scoops you into a whirlwind of an urban family life. Even if the subject matter may be unfamiliar, Torres made the the world of this distorted, mixed, Brooklyn family come to life for me. This is definitely a novel I would love to relive again.
