A review by erinastin
Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler
3.0
2.5 stars
This book had great potential, but it felt half-finished to me. What I believe Stephanie Danler intended to be edgy, ruminative prose I did not find to be all that engaging or profound. The characters were weakly developed and the plot was practically nonexistent. It reads very much like a debut novel. That being said, I think Danler has great potential as an author, and I would be interested in reading more of her later work.
