Still Here by Lara Vapnyar

5.0

I like books where the characters are just as depressed, bitter, messy and anxious as real life people, and this book definitely has that. A five-star rating may be overly generous, because I'm still in my "books are wonderful" glow from the release of the 2017 ToB longlist, but I really enjoyed reading this book, and thought it had a lot of smart things to say about such weighty topics as death, grief, social media and the Russian immigrant experience.
