a fine read! I personally struggle with litfic that isn’t really plot driven — although I did love the writing style and flow of the book through different perspectives. I found that the last two thirds of the books didn’t really have much to do with the titular theme of “a quitter’s paradise” as Eleanor’s life post-quitting her PhD felt somewhat like chaos and not paradise without any clear call back to that initial idea. Overall, the chaos was entertaining to read however I do feel the book fell short of discussing a very real concept of finding peace and paradise after leaving behind something that does not serve you and where you do not feel adequately understood or supported.

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Boring but I feel like that was the point? Plot-light but not in an interesting enough way for me to be engaged in the character development. Wish that the marmoset featured more prominently in the story. Honestly only finished it bc it was short.
