Zoë Perry and 1 other person liked Dol Leander's review of Exemplary Humans: "Received as a free ARC. This novel pulls out the somber emotions of aging without losing sight of the joy that comes with a life fully lived. Flowing between both past and present and third and first person, sometimes within the span of one sentence," Read more of this review »
