A review by noiriste
Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff

3.0

I get what sets people off about this book now: the language is gorgeous, it aims for high brow, but the story and characters are something straight out of dollar bin sex thrillers: the troubled but heroic man and the sociopathic woman who seduces him and is able to fool everyone save for that fatal slip-up. It's so sensational it stretches the meat of the story beyond belief.

Overall it is also an exhausting book that made me feel slightly ill, and I had to stop every now and then to heal my soul lol.
