Sourdough by Robin Sloan

4.0

I enjoyed this over all, it was very informative in the sense that there was some interesting little facts through out the book, from technology to making sourdough, to a Lois Club branch in San Francisco. But as interesting as the book was I still didn't feel much of a connection with Lois. I don't know how to explain it. She had various emotion's but the all seemed very minuscule that if something didn't go her way she'd be very level headed in figure out how to solve her problem....which is fine but it doesn't leave me much to connect with. She seemed very monotone in what she did, I got that she was happier making sourdough but to the point of moving to Berlin to find Beo to learn how to cook under him seemed very out of the blue. When Old Lois says to "go, just look at yourself when you speak about him." It felt completely random. Which left me wanting more of a back and forth of emails between Lois and Beo to back up that statement. There was a hint of it. But because Lois never mentioned it in her narrative I felt like it wasn't all that important.
