The Price of Salt: Or Carol by Patricia Highsmith

4.0

I liked Carol because although being gay at the time the novel takes place was totally taboo, the story doesn't devolve into a tragic outcome due to this struggle. I enjoyed how elusive Carol is, and could sympathize with Therese navigating infatuation with someone decently older than her. It felt like not much happened in the plot, but Therese goes through a lot of development as she navigates her relationships, working life, and outlook for the future.
