A review by mbondlamberty
Strangers and Cousins by Leah Hager Cohen

3.0

Perhaps it is because at this moment in my life (our lives?) I would like either pleasure or knowledge from the books I read and this one gave me neither I gave it 3 stars. Or was it that all the characters were just too precious, just too self-involved. The writing was descriptive, but left me wanting more details. It wasn't really a page turner but nor was it uninteresting. I did finish it which I don't always do, but not necessarily going to seek out other books by this author. But at the same time how do you compete with the Black Lives Movement and a pandemic for bandwidth, so perhaps it is too much to ask of a book?
