elizabitch 's review for:
The Personal Librarian
by Marie Benedict, Victoria Christopher Murray
Belle feels very flat and is too perfect at: her job, her confidence, her style, her social navigation, her life, etc. There's no tension of struggle within the plot because it goes from one established historical event to another, without much build up in-between. It's a very flat book without much to flesh it out. It goes from "chapter which shows Belle at her job" to "chapter where Belle is at home and we can discuss the black experience" ad nauseum.
