Vladimir by Julia May Jonas
3.0

3.5ish…some of this was boring and some of this was good. It’s fairly pretentious and the main character is not someone you’re going to love. I don’t even know that I loved to hate her. She talks a lot about her weight, appearance and aging and kinda just sucks in general. The writing is very literary and not really the type of book I gravitate towards but I also didn’t dislike it. The author does nail the pretentious academia vibe. Lots to talk about with this one so I will recommend it mostly so I have others to discuss this book with and not necessarily bc I think they’ll love it.
