You Don’t Have to Say
You Love Me by Sherman Alexie
4.5 stars
I wasn’t quite sure what to think of this book at
first. Alexie is brutally honest about
himself, his family (especially his mother) and life on the Reservation and it
took me a few chapters to begin to feel comfortable with his writing. Once I accepted the fact that a popular
author was going to lay it all out there, I began to really admire the way he
wrote about so many difficult episodes of his life. This is a mix of narrative and prose and while
the poetry wasn’t my personal favorite, I appreciated the way he dealt with his
emotions in the format he felt most fitting.
I’ve read some of Alexie’s prior
work but this makes me want to delved deeper into the rest. I received a digital ARC of this book through
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
