The Way We Get By
by Seven Rue
If I could give this book more than five stars than I definitely would because it is one of the best books that I have read this year.
I went into it, with quite high expectations because I have loved every one of Seven Rue's books before and this was definitely no different but it still showed a very different side.
This book tells the story of Redley and Ledger, who are both from the south-side of Chicago. Ledger is the half-brother of Redley's father and is a lot older than her but they have not seen each other in 8 years at the beginning of the novel. The novel does not only tell the wonderful, love story of Redley and Ledger but it also follows Redley's best fried Kitt, and her sister Liz.
I absolutely fell in love with all the characters portrayed in this book, ok maybe not Dorothy and Ellie but I understood their purpose for the story. While the relationship between Redley and Ledger is definitely at the center of the story, it had so many important topics that were discussed in such a fantastic and deep way.
I cannot wait for everything else that Seven Rue will write in the future and I definitely want Kitt's novel next.
