victorian221b 's review for:
The Fiction Writer
by Jillian Cantor
The plot had intrigued me, the beginning of the book had intrigued me but after getting past the halfway point the themes and the musings got so repetitive I started to lose interest. I had hoped that by the end of the book my mind would be blown and that I would think the entire plot clever. But, that didn’t happen. The book should have been shorter and Olivia’s back and forth in her thoughts started to grate on me.
Overall, it’s not horrible but it felt like the author started with such a great idea and a great ending but couldn’t figure out how to fill in the middle parts. And thus went on and on about the same “thoughts” and the same “opinions”. No new information and no new updates. And then the whole thing with her ex just…stopped. It was mentioned frequently in the beginning and then nothing else happened. The execution definitely could have been better.
