A review by alexkersbergen
Second Place by Rachel Cusk

4.0

I feel as if I know everything and nothing after reading this. This novel is so incredibly intelligently written. Rachel Cusks voice is peculiar and captivating as well as lyrically genius. I looooved this book. End to finish. I’m so drawn to stupidly pretentious intellectualism that I can’t tell if this book is actually smart or posed but I don’t seem to care. Brutally honest narration that went straight through my brain and kept poking it until it started bleeding internally.
To Rachel Cusk:
