Taft by Ann Patchett
3.0

Having read four of Ann Patchett's books now, I'm realizing that she takes her time to tell a story. Even in her best books, Bel Canto and State of Wonder, she doesn't rush any part of it. Sometimes that is a good quality, but when there isn't that much of a plot to begin with, and then it is also told at something of a leisurely pace, it makes for a forgettable read. But I still gave it three stars because I felt like it kept me engaged while read, even if afterwards I was just like, meh.
