Why read it?
1 author picked All We Could Have Been as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book didn’t win as many critically acclaimed awards as others on my list, but I love how TE Carter shows how, as members of society, we make so many assumptions about people based on their actions. It’s a bias that never disappears, and the main character knows it.
But most importantly, this novel questions whether anyone can truly heal after tragedy. Of course, bad things happen to everyone, but I think the scars from a heart-wrenching catastrophe never mend.
From Michael's list on coming-of-age stories that question identity.
