booktrunks 's review for:
One Day I Shall Astonish the World
by Nina Stibbe
Thank you to Little Brown and NetGalley for providing this ALC in exchange for an honest review!
I love a book about family drama and long term friendships, but this one just didn't quite fill everything I was looking for. To start, the book is pretty long, and I didn't find a lot of the events that took place to be super exciting, so I was losing my interest a little bit while reading. With that being said, I also wasn't a huge fan of either Susan or Norma, because they just didn't seem very well suited to be friends, and overall were not very good to each other. I think there is a lot of charm to this book, but it wasn't quite was I was hoping for.
