I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while, so when I saw it in a used bookstore, I took it as my opportunity to read it.  

A Room with a View by E. M. Forster is a modern classic following Lucy, a young woman, as she deals with the complications of love and maturing in society. That is honestly one of the worst book descriptions I’ve ever written, but oh well. Not much happens in this book, and though it is on the shorter side, it felt kind of long at times. It wasn’t bad by any means, but I found most of the characters unlikeable, and much of this book hinges on a complete lack of communication between them. I definitely liked the other book I’ve read by this author, Howard’s End, better.
