I wanted more supper club and less toxic relationships. Beautiful prose, but a little drawn out. Justice for Adnan.

intrigerend idee, maar blijft oppervlakkig. de beschrijvingen van maaltijden zijn tien keer uitgebreider dan deze van de relaties tussen personages. dit voelde als een gemiste kans, want er waren mooie momenten, vooral wanneer de meiden samenkwamen in de Supper Club en hun motivaties/angsten/losgaan beschreven werd.

Read it quickly and enjoyed most of it, feeling feels throughout. The themes felt very spelled-out , too much so in some parts. Author loves the word “languish”. It sort of felt like a better version of Conversations With Friends.

I struggled with the character’s relationship with her body—the descriptions of weight gain/fatness felt incomplete, like the author herself had never been larger than a size 8 and still has a lot of internalized fat phobia (I have no idea, fwiw). Her obsession with thinness made me tired.

The thread around female friendships, the push-and-pull of romantic vs platonic(ish) love, and the character seeking out moments of catharsis were what kept me engaged and invested. Worth a read, but didn’t quite meet my expectations.
