The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer
3.0
The writing was so gorgeous and the start had so much promise but it didn’t end up panning out.
I was so excited to watch a shy and anxious Greer grow in confidence by the end but instead she was always just kind of bland and passive even when she was supposed to be somehow different or changed. I also really didn’t like Cory or their relationship and I feel like that was a core part of the narrative that I could never really get behind.
The only real strengths for me were the writing style/tone and the conflict with Faith and Zee and nuanced depiction of female relationships.
Not what I was expecting but this did save me from a 3 week reading slump so I have to give it a shoutout for that
