This book was fine. I appreciated immensely what the writer was trying to do and I think it’s an important and eye-opening topic, but, as so often with books I’ve read that are not-quite-literary, it didn’t quite fulfill the promises it made/meet expectations. I loved the beginning and felt that it grew progressively less interesting and effective.

i really liked this by the end. slow start, compelling characters, dragged a bit at the beginning and middle. felt like a debut novel in that i didn’t feel like the author was completely clear about what she wanted the book to be, but i definitely was hooked and invested. i wish it had gone on longer and we got to see mickey’s trajectory in her work and personal life. very sexy sex scene!

DID NOT FINISH: 22%

Just not in the right head space for this one. Started it out of obligation for a Storygraph challenge, but ended up not feeling the vibe. Well written though it is. I will come back to this one!
