Bee Season by Myla Goldberg

4.0

I loved Eliza—thoughtful, funny, passionate and curious—but this book was hard to read, because I couldn't stop feeling like each family member was barreling down the path to what they bought was enlightenment but was just an ugly reckoning with each other and the real world. Saul was especially tragic as the author showed us all the times he came so close to doing exactly what his loved ones would have wanted, and how so many small linked quotidian decisions have consequences to create so much distance in our relationships and end up making us feel so alone.
