Otts reviewed Wait: A Novel by Gabriella Burnham
Straightforward story explores issues
4 stars
A novel about issues that doesn’t hit you over the head with them: undocumented workers, “nice” white people and the harm they blithely cause, Nantucket’s tourist economy and the income inequality with the island’s locals. But it’s mainly about two sisters and the eldest’s rich friend.
Another contemporary book that disposes of quotation marks and indenting paragraphs for new speakers. WHY. Enjoyed it nonetheless.
