I Know This Much Is True, by Wally Lamb
1.0
It took me EIGHT MONTHS to read this book.
I didn’t like it at all. I didn’t connect with the characters and it really pisses me off that Domenico was such an ass to his twin. I guess he loved Thomas—he plays the sympathy card a lot because he lost his twin—but he treated his brother like crap when he was alive. So I can certainly empathize with the loss he’s feeling (I lost my brother) but I sort of hate Domenico because who treats a sibling the way he treated Thomas? Pip was one of my best friends. Domenico was just a complete asshole. I don’t like him and I don’t connect to him and if he were a real person, there’s no way in hell I’d ever want to be his friend.
