4.0

A novel about humanity — the hurts, the successes, and everything in between. Shelby is all of us, trying to figure out how to live alongside the things she’s done, not realizing that she is more like the people around her than she believes. I love the way Hoffman writes you into the world she’s creating — and this novel is no different than the others I’ve read by her in that regard, however, I did find it interesting that this novel is not a work of historical fiction. Regardless, I enjoyed this novel just as much as all the historical novels I’ve read by her.
