Honestly it’s my fault for picking up a coming of age story when I know that I don’t gravitate towards them 😭 ‘A Tree Grows in Brooklyn’ is one of the few exceptions. I’ve heard so many good things about this one and gave it a chance but I’ll be honest with myself in saying that if I’m struggling this much with the first book then there’s no way I’d feel inclined to pick up the rest in the series. 

I’ve also been in a reading slump (unsure if it’s partly because of my dread of reading this one. Not a good sign 😅) ‘The Master and Margarita’ was so incredible to me that I need something just as enjoyable as that for now..
