The Names by Florence Knapp
The Names was one of those books that gave me actual goosebumps—like the kind that won’t go away when you try to explain it to someone. The three alternate realities based on one naming decision felt so unique, and as a mom it hit me right where it hurts.
Pros
- +Brilliant three-timeline/alternate reality structure
- +Beautiful, impactful writing that made me think
- +Emotionally heavy in a way that feels meaningful
Cons
- -Check trigger warnings (abuse is a major element)
- -It can feel heavy and heartbreaking, especially as a parent
