Arcadia by Lauren Groff

4.0

Well I related to this book that was about a boy raised in a commune, and the difficulty all the kids had integrating with the larger world when they grew up. Even though I didn't grow up in a commune, I grew up in a rather closed community and the larger world & culture was largely unknown. I loved the characters in this book -- loved how there were so many good things about his childhood, and how he saw it as so idyllic, even while seeing there were some problems with it. Good read.
