A review by siobhanward
The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller

emotional medium-paced

2.5

 So maybe family dramas just aren't for me, but I think overall this book was just too much. It definitely bordered on trauma porn for no real reason?? Like there was so much detail and just everything was unnecessarily traumatic. The characters are pretty garbage people, no one will talk to each other and everything is just sad all the time. I don't know, it just felt like a story about miserable people living miserable lives. Some scenes were redeeming while others were just hard to read. Reviews seem to be really conflicting, so there's no real answer to whether it's the book or it's me...
