I Have Some Questions For You

Author: Rebecca Makkai

Mood: Reflective. Challenging.

Summary: Now a successful podcaster, a woman returns to her childhood boarding school and reflects on the murder of her former roommate. With more experience behind her, she has some questions—did the right person go to jail? What was her role in the tragedy? Is it too late to set things right?

Review: Who is allowed to express outrage over violence? Who is allowed to receive outrage? This book isn’t afraid to take an unflinching look at tough questions on racism, sexism, predatory behaviors, violence, the justice system, and the ways we may be complacent in others trauma for personal preservation.

My Rating:

5 stars

Beverage Pairing: For something that doesn’t hide from the gray areas of life, allowing for the sour to rise through, try a Grey Ghost cocktail.
