jesssicawho 's review for:

The Danish Girl by David Ebershoff
3.0

I wanted to like this book more than I actually did. It has all the makings of a truly interesting story, especially because it is inspired by the real life of Einar Wegener/Lili Elbe and his remarkable wife Gerda. Something about the novel fell flat for me and I found myself supplementing with articles about the real lives of these people.
