I am embarrassed for how long it took me to read You Don’t Have to Say You Love me by Sherman Alexie. I think I renewed it from the library 5 or 6 times! In my defense, other books with longer waiting times, like Becoming, took over.

My Review
I’m not going to lie, You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me was kind of depressing. Maybe that’s why it took me so long to read. Although much of the stories were sad, Sherman is a wonderful storyteller. He uses a mixture of one-paragraph stories, poems, and long chapters. The book was really lengthly (another reason it took me so long), but overall I really liked it!
I’m not sure how it originally got on my 2018 book list, but since I didn’t get to it last year, it made it on my 2019 book list. As sad as it was, I know I’ll be putting his other book, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian, on my 2020 book list.
