Book Review #81: "The Best Kind of People"

Professional Reader 50 Book Reviews Reviews Published





Hey Everyone,

     I am going to review the book "The Best Kind of People: A Novel," by Zoe Whittall. This book is hot off the press as it was just published today September 19, 2017 by Random House Books. For those of you who would like to purchase a copy of this book CLICK HERE. Zoe Whittall is a well established author. She previously wrote the book "Holding Still for as Long as Possible" which won the Lambda Literary Award. This book is about a long time popular high school teacher and family man who is accused of sexually assaulting some of his high school students on a ski trip. It is about how the family his wife, daughter and son dealt with the accusation and whether or not the accusation was true or not.
     Overall I rated this book five stars out of five. This was so emotionally and passionately written. It was so realistic I thought I was a voyeur watching this story unfold in front of me. It was heartbreaking and real. It was well written, and the character development was excellent in every way. I really liked the layout of this book on how it had a chapter from each family member's perspective and how that person was handling the accusations against their husband/father. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the ending it was too short, and it seemed as if there was no closure to the book. But this was mostly because I was so into this book and didn't want it to end. I wish the ending were more fair to the rest of the book. But overall I am so glad I read this book because I completely enjoyed reading it even though it was heartbreaking. Go out and read this book because it is highly recommended.
     I would like to thank Netgalley, Zoe Whittall, and Random House Books for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Until the next page,

Jill
