feministfaereads87 's review for:
Tash Hearts Tolstoy
by Kathryn Ormsbee
I throughly enjoyed this book.
I loved the idea from the get go.
Also I want this made into a movie.
And can Kathryn Ormsbee pull a Rainbow Rowell and write a book called Unhappy Families like Rainbow Rowell did with Carry On because that would be excellent, please and thanks!
I loved the dynamic between Tash, Jack, and Paul. It was so sweet to see such a strong bond between siblings and the ease between Tash and Paul was more apparent between that of Jack and Tash. That’s not to say I didn’t love Tash and Jack’s relationship because I did. I loved every angle of this friendship triangle.
BRING ON THE FRIENDSHIP TRIANGLES.
That’s a trope I’ll get behind!
Anyways, I loved Jack’s brutal honesty and her humor. I definitely had my fair share of laughs during this book.
I think Tash’a asexuality was handed very well in this book. Her confusion and secrecy felt real and I understood why she chose to be quiet about it. I agree with Jack that she didn’t handle it quite well when she strip teased Paul, but I’m glad she finally reexplained it after that whole affair.
Thom’s reaction to her confession was terrible, but I partially thought he wouldn’t handle it very well because he seemed to insinuate sex multiple times in their texting adventures. Besides my anger at his reaction, I’m glad he and Tash don’t end up together because a) HE DOESN’T PRONOUNCE HER NAME CORRECTLY. EVEN I KNEW HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT THOM, GET IT TOGETHER MAN! and b) by then I’d already begun to prefer and ship Paul and Tash together.
I felt like Tash’s outlook on life was similar to my own. I definitely feel like I would’ve taken that interview as being for a positive interview and made the same mistake as her. I understood her meticulous side because of my love for photography, and I do like organizing things like schedules and plans when necessary because I enjoy following lists.
I also adored her parent dynamic. Parents who were polar opposites fell in love. It was quite cute to hear about their history and how she mentioned her parents were her OTP, how sweet. :)
I thought the reconciliation scene between Klaudie and Tash was critical to their relationship and I enjoyed how they easily fell back into normalcy just by the tradition of visiting their grandparents grave. They both shared that lose and they both came to terms with the baby and Tash learned about Kaludie’s perspective which I could completely understand and can relate to as the oldest of four girls in my own family.
I know what that pressure’s like.
