I Believe In A Thing Called Love - Maurene Goo Lucas (The Preston Brothers #1) - Jay McLean Having said that, I really did appreciate Hoover’s inclusion of Sagan and his background - about his family in Syria and in highlighting the Syrian crisis - but again, there wasn’t enough time to really delve into what this issue means and the plight of the people. For me personally, picking fewer topics to discuss would have worked out better. Because you run the risk of not talking about the issue properly, not representing it how it should in the story - it shouldn’t just be a tick-box case where you throw the issue in there just to get it out there - these issues are important and should be given time to be explored and talked about in a book. For me, there were too many issues trying to be jam packed into one and the risk of that is that there’s never enough time to properly explore the issues on hand and this is very very important. There’s basically A LOT going on - and I get what the author was trying to do in bringing these issues to light - but quantity over quantity. There’s a very dysfunctional family dynamic going on, there’s issues about identity, sexuality, drugs, abuse. This is darker than Hoover’s usual, evident in the content and the issues discussed in the book.
