Never Let Me Go

If you're into coming-of-age stories, sci-fi, and arts and crafts, this is your jam!

Kathy is “carer” telling the story of her childhood. She was raised at a special school where everything's a bit different, and the students are prepared for the specific future that's laid out for them. It isn't exactly a mystery; students are told what will happen to them, and we readers figure it out early in the story. But even so, there's a lot hidden in the shadows.

Ishiguro is a master storyteller with prose and character development that makes me envious. It's a simple story about innocence, whether the ends justify the means, and what it means to live a fulfilling life, but despite its simplicity, the writing draws you in.

One of the best novels I've read in recent years.
