A review by dostoyevskyism
Pink Slip by Rita Ciresi
dnfed. I couldn’t stick till the end. some aspects of this book didn’t age well, I was willing to ignore them but every chapter got boring halfway through, and I hated how the mc went into long rigmaroles after every two paragraphs. It got so tedious. Some people might like to read every minute details of the characters’ lives but I am not one of them.
I felt so icky about the male lead’s character; he was dominating, patronising, forceful, selfish, and made his girlfriend do things according to his comfort. I couldn’t invest myself in their relationship. Having said all this, I think the comedy of manners in this book was quite great. The author effortlessly managed to depict a realistic image of a contemporary society and its affectations and artificiality with her smart and pointed writing.
