Whitney Atkinson's Reviews > Tell the Wolves I'm Home

I was waiting and waiting for this book to get good.... but it stayed pretty steadily okay throughout. I appreciated this because I've never read anything set in the 80s that addresses AIDS, so understanding what it was like from the lens of the family was interesting. But although I enjoyed this book I just wasn't wowed by it and didn't feel like it dug very deep on any of its topics. And the whole idea that she was in love with her uncle and she could relate to her uncle's boyfriend because they both had forbidden love was just.... strange. I'm disappointed because I've seen lots of 5 stars for this and I was recommended it on the basis that it would make me sob but I ended up not even shedding a tear. Womp womp.
