Three Days Grace by Jeremy Bradley-Silverio Donato Review

This is a beautifully written literary novel that’s a perfect pride month read. Set in the course of three days, it will pull at all your heartstrings as we sit with the five characters presented to us in this novel as they reflect on bad news, past trauma, and new grief.

The five characters we meet, all in third person, are couple Lynne and Susan, Lynne’s son, Nick, Susan’s friend Lazlo, and a former professor, Marc. After Lynne receives news that someone close to their family has passed, Nick searches within his past to cope with hard memories, while seeking out current comfort.

This book is written so impressively because many of the main crises don’t happen on page and we are left as a reader to put together what happened over time and how everyone ended up where they are. Definitely check the content warnings for this, but this is a snapshot of family trauma playing out over the course of a weekend vacation. I would recommend to literary fiction lovers!

Thanks to the author for the gifted copy.

This is a quick read that’s really beautifully written and has a lot of really great characters in them that feel complicated in real. This book is riddled with nuance.
