this book was bring af omg i i dont even know what to say about it. im 50 pages in and i havent read it in a while and i dont think i wanna read any more of this. i saw reviews where people say it gets better but idk it just wasnt good enough for me. its just a bunch of nothing and i just dont like edith as a character. not sure if she supposed to be unlikable but if the author was going for that she nailed it.
from what i read, the only scene i enjoyed was when she was talking to her editor and how romance books are written for certain types of women (me)

Another mediocre Booker winner. Some of the shortlisted novels in 1984 appear to be extremely captivating (namely J.G. Ballard’s Empire of the Sun and David Lodge’s Small World) which is what makes this novel’s triumph so astounding. If you’re seeking something engrossing, it’s not here. If you’re wanting engaging plot lines and twists, it’s not here. If you’re wanting a story to move you emotionally, there’s perhaps a tiny bit of that here, but much too little. If you’re looking for a read where when you close the book you take a deep breath and say that was amazing, it’s not this book. It’s ultimately just rather dull. So the Booker Prize still continues to confound. About 50% of the time the winner seems pretty incredible, and the other 50% of the time the winner leaves me groaning when turning the next page. Luckily this one was short, but if you’re going to delve into the world of Booker winners, I wouldn’t suggest starting here.
