Seeing Other People by Diana Reid
3.0
ahh :( i think i was going to be disappointed by this no matter what- ‘love and virtue’ was SO good that it would be damn near impossible to improve upon it, however i truly was disappointed by this.
diana reid is so brilliant and intelligent and talented- i’ve had the absolute pleasure of talking to her about her first novel and she’s just as likeable and witty as you would expect. it seems to me, however, that her second book was written to a specific audience, one that prefers a watered-down sally rooney, one that doesn’t want to think too much about what they’re reading.
(one of) the main reasons i loved ‘love and virtue’ so much was because it was so clever, so subtle. ‘seeing other people’ was less so.
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, i don’t want to read the word “tiktok” in a novel. i don’t want it discussed. analysed, briefly mentioned, or hinted at. pretend it doesn’t exist!!!!!! please!!!!!!!!!!!!
that being said, i didn’t not enjoy this book. it’s a fun, simple read with a neat conclusion, and that’s all there really is to say
