Why I picked itGo Set a Watchman was my Potions read for #OWLsReadathon2019, as it is the sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird. I really enjoyed listening to the first book, and I was excited for the sequel. This book was also one of many that my future mother-in-law had gotten me for Christmas, and I've been trying to work my way through as much of my own physical TBR as I can this month (and have been doing a pretty good job of it too!). Summary Jean Louise (Scout) Finch has been off on her own in New York City for a few years, but she comes home to visit her dad and (kind of) boyfriend. While visiting, she battles the push from her family and community to come home and her feelings of unbelonging from the small community she used to love. When she comes back, she finds out some things about her community and those closest to her. They disappoint her in ways she feels she cannot overcome, when really, that finally makes her grow up. what I likedOnce again, Lee does a great job of bringing up many social issues of the time, and I loved learning a little more. This is also another novel of growing up, just like To Kill a Mockingbird, just growing up in her twenties instead of throughout childhood. Scout goes through a lot in this book. Disappointment is abundant, and she isn't sure how she's going to get through it. Because of that, she learns more about the civic issues going throughout her hometown as well as the country. Plus, the relationships in this book are just as good (maybe better!) than in the first book. What I didn't LikeAt times the book was a little confusing for me, but that’s just because I pretty much don't know anything about this era in history other than segregation was a thing, and it was bad. Overall Impression 🌟🌟🌟🌟4/5 stars! This was a good book. Not my favorite, but it was still very good!
