A review by justfoxie
On the Floor by Aifric Campbell
2.0
This is another one for which I wish you could give half stars - two is probably overly harsh and it isn't quite good enough for three.
I started this book with rather low expectations, but was intrigued by the concept - a woman in high finance in the 1990s and written by a woman. Something I have some personal experience of, though in the present day. As some of the other reviewers have noted, Ms. Campbell really knows her stuff and gets a lot of the details right. However, there is a lot of sensationalism and the characters never really develop any depth. The writing style is very sparse, which at times works really well and at others grates on my nerves.
All in all a not quite satisfying read.
