5/5

What a beautiful, heartwrenching, and multi-layered story! Isaac's Song is a compelling and haunting story about finding oneself, loving oneself, and forgiveness. It is also a hard story at times, dealing with racism, homophobia, generational/parental trauma and complicated relationships. I absolutely loved reading Isaac's poems and short stories and the vivid descriptions of how he constructed his characters and how they manifested for him and the reader.

I finished this in one sitting, and it will stay with me for a long time.

This was an incredibly raw story, and I will recommend it to everyone I know.

Thank you to NG and the publisher for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
