The Devil and Webster by Jean Hanff Korelitz

3.0

Pretty writing as all Jean Hanff Korelitz is, but the plot of this seemed rather nonexistent for me. Most of the novel reads like exposition and faint rising action. It’s interesting enough by itself to not feel boring—there’s juuust enough going on to keep my attention, and I’m interested in the world painted, and I want to know about what the students are protesting. However the end felt like the *actual* start of the conflict for me. I don’t feel like this book is over? I loved the environment, and the characters are fascinating, but this was not the reading experience I expected, and to be honest I’m not sure what to take away.
