I read Us because it was on the Man Booker Prize Longlist. It took me a long time to make my way through the book. I felt like it was so sad that it dragged on and on.
Having said that, I thought it was also pithy and heartbreaking. I loved the ending. I was interested in and invested in the characters. It was just sad enough that I didn’t feel like going back and reading more and more of it.
In the end, I am glad I read it. Some of the book’s thoughts stayed with me still now.
