He Wants by Alison Moore

4.0

This book is a masterclass in creative writing. The dripfeed of character detail is excellent. Alison can most definitely write. But did I enjoy the story being told? I'm not so sure. The prose is bloodless in its precision but are human beings that way? The stylish prose kept me at a distance from the main character and from anything that felt raw or real. I would read it again and admire the writing and storytelling, but story does not engage with me emotionally.
