DNF. 200 pages and I had to give up. Just wasn't captured by it no matter how hard I tried.

Sorry, but I just couldn’t finish this book. And I really, really tried. It feels like the author just so desperately wanted to write something beautiful, but has them done herself a disservice by cramming in so many overly eloquent sentences, thoughts aimed at the ethereal and phrases intended to be loaded with meaning that it just falls apart. It’s disjointed, hard to follow and vague to the point of frustrating.

Struggled to finish it. Was not interested in the precious boring characters.

Really boring plot, couldn’t stay focused for more than a page at a time

Shout out to Allen and Unwin NZ who hooked me up with this. It’s a beautifully written novel (I can tell the writer is a poet) about families and relationships, and the complexity of being an individual within this context. I’m probably not the target audience, but it’s the perfect book to buy your mum or grandma. I’m off to give this to my Nana who I’m sure will love it.
