A review by tildyteacake
The Odyssey by Lara Williams
2.0
Unfortunate that this is pitched to those who love 'My year of rest and relaxation' and 'Convenience store woman's - 2 of my favourite novels of recent years, as it is nowhere near as good as either.
First half or so is promising enough but Ingrid's driving motivation is disappointing and the ending just collapses for me (and I don't mind an ambiguous ending at all).
Hoped for more to be honest and I don't understand the front cover tagline of 'wickedly funny' as satire doesn't feel developed enough to be funny. Unless we're just meant to laugh at her getting pissed.
