Boston's Reviews > Sorrowland

I want to start this review by saying that there are themes and trauma brought up in this book that I will never be able to understand. That being said, I think this was an absolutely incredible story following one of the best protagonists I’ve ever read about. Vern’s upbringing and subsequent escape was so enthralling to me, I found myself drinking up chapters like water at 3am. It was such a powerful yet heartbreaking story and I can only imagine how much more impactful it will be for Black readers and I hope the people who need this story the most will be able to read it.

*thank you to the publisher for sending me an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
