A review by pekoparty
My Last Innocent Year by Daisy Alpert Florin

3.0

Another fiction of writers writing writers. I can't say that this is a book that will stay with me, but I did enjoy the pace, the descriptions, and the tension between each of the characters. I appreciated the vast amount of characters presented in Isabel's world. The trope of a young woman f****** one of her professors is overplayed, in my opinion. The idea that any young woman has any bit of power in that dynamic is always a fallacy. But I appreciate that Daisy Albert Florin takes us through Isabel's life in the years beyond that experience. It very much felt like the '90s, with the political controversy and social expectations. This was a detailed book that never felt muddy.
