natasha's Reviews > Fives and Twenty-Fives

read this for novel research and this is why i hate books that switch perspectives. i think donovan’s perspective was the most interesting and they could have included the other two perspectives in a better or more balanced way. it could have been way more interesting but i ended up skipping half the book cause i just didn’t care. also really compelling picture of during/post-war life but doesn’t really have anything deep to say about the war, trauma, substance use, and just life in general. this book could work for someone else, but just not me. it has a lot of potential.
