It was like the author got tired of writing and thought it would be clever to end as it did. It felt lazy more than novel. Characters were utterly pathetic, yet I failed to wrangle up even an iota of sympathy for any of them. What was the point of your book??? Nonetheless, aside from the ending, I found myself early enjoying the book.

I really love Emma Cline’s writing; definitely a book that sucks you in. However, I think the second half had some pacing issues and the ending was disappointing. Feels almost unfinished.

careening towards nothing. aimless, much like the narrator’s life, so i think the goal was achieved. i finished it, though, so i can’t say i didn’t enjoy something about it, but i wouldn’t reread and probably wouldn’t recommend unless you like following a character in making decisions you probably wouldn’t make, but not experience much of a conclusion.
