It's all in there; gender, art, literature, parenting, marriage, identity, even Brexit.

Disclaimer: I have not read the previous two books, but I cannot imagine doing so would have made much of a difference.

I really really enjoyed the first half, then started slumping, and the passage at the second conference hotel + restaurant made me want to give up. Felt like the last 20 capalabati breaths where you’re like ok but surely i’ve done enough already when is this over.

So yes. No. 3.5*.

 a nice collection of discussions about life and the big questions with a range of people. I didn't find it massively convincing as they all felt unfinished but maybe that is the point. Didn't realise it was the final book of the trilogy when I read it, which might explain my issues with it.

A strong end to the trilogy. Excited to read again another time as I was distracted with a move while reading so it took me a long time to finish
