The Sorrow Proper by Lindsey Drager

2.0

This book had potential. The style of writing was almost poetic, and had a beautiful way of flowing at times. However, I'm curious as to whether the author has actually ever set foot in a library, or spoken to an actual librarian, and knows what a library actually does and what being a librarian actually entails. The stereotype of the "librarian" and the "library" in this story was disturbing, and not in the way I typically like my stories to be disturbing, but rather in a highly misrepresentational way.

Nor did I connect with any of the characters. I kept hoping that eventually something was going to happen that made everything click together- that would bring some color to them instead of the black and white and grey that I felt them in- but it never did.
