NW by Zadie Smith
4.0
While at first a bit hard to get into, in the end I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Of the Zadie Smith books I've read, I think this is my favourite.
I loved how it was kind of unconventionally structured. Leah's part, almost written like a stream of consciousness, was immersive. Natalie's part, with the short sections, reminded me a bit of Douglas Couoland's writing, particularly Microserfs with the short, concise snapshots that really dig into ideas in succinct ways.
At multiple points I also felt that Smith did a fantastic job of conveying the thought processes of a young woman in her 20s/30s - I found Leah and Natalie to be very relatable.
