jodiwilldare 's review for:

To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara

2.0

---

I don't think I get it. The three distinct parts of this 700+-page doorstop do not add up to a brilliant whole. I get the recurring themes, the echoes of names and places, but this never builds into something spectacular, or anything at all. It feels like people's affection for the author's last book is inflating their affection for this one.
