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

4.5

Deep and thought-provoking, Makkai's writing is evocative and painfully stark. The Great Believers is a story of love, loss, friendship, trauma, and healing, and it is so important for everyone to read and process.
