The Hero of This Book by Elizabeth McCracken

Did not finish book.

2.0

DNF at 25%. Said "hero" washes her hair in the kitchen sink. Bye.

That I could not pinpoint the author's intentions for what she wanted her book to be was too distracting for me. It kept me from fully appreciating what she had to offer.

Even that aside, I still could not get over how it read as random musings. All these made the book fall flat and come across as a desperate attempt at profundity.

I could not stomach another page after 25%.
