this is the 2nd krauss book i’ve read because someone recommended i read her work since i love jonathan safran foer(her ex-husband)‘s books. it is the 2nd krauss book that has WILDLY underwhelmed me - a history of love is objectively better and tonally closer to foer, but lacks the heart/depth/profundity of his (first 2) novels. this book had such a great premise, such a bad execution, and left me feeling like jonathan definitely was the one with the writing chops.
