clairemariarose 's review for:
Worry
by Alexandra Tanner
thank you scribner and netgalley for the digital copy!!
she cooked
unrelated, but would a pear tattoo kinda go hard?
worry is an exploration of anxiety, sisterhood, twenties malaise. i've seen it described as seinfeld-ian, which is apt in the sense that seinfeld is a show about nothing and this is a book about nothing. but also, there is so much to dig into within the nothing. the human relationships on display, the family dynamics working against the characters, and the deep-seated unease that is simply a consequence of existing in your twenties are all handled expertly.
i saw so much of myself in jules and poppy. the way alexandra tanner writes sisterhood is almost too real. the relationship i had with my sister ten years ago when we shared a bedroom is vastly different from the one we have today (thank god), but i can imagine that if we lived together again we would devolve to the same bad behavior we had as children. the bickering, the hair pulling, the clothes stealing, the meanest comments you've ever said to another human being...all a part of the sister game lmao
i found this book compulsively readable. it was quick and sharp, making me laugh and cutting me to my core when i least expected it. this book made me examine my relationship with my siblings, my parents, and my phone, which is kind of a lot lol but worth it!!
