The Alternatives: A Novel
by Caoilinn Hughes
Great Read- Entertaining and Thought Provoking (5/30/2024)
I loved this book! It is smart, witty, entertaining, and thought provoking. The characters’ knowledge and passion for the topics of earth science, philosophy, democratic process, and food scarcity were educational and thought provoking. The banter between the sisters is hilarious and their personal and shared emotional revelations are relatable and hopeful, while remaining realistic.

I could not stop reading this book and only wish to know the characters better and for longer.

The book’s ending leaves a lot to consider— my brain keeps mulling on it and it is a beautiful and profound final statement.

Way to go, Ms Hughes! Thank you for this amazing book. It is my favorite of 2024 thus far.
