Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo
1.0
Did Not Finish-40 percent
I really could not get into this. I know it's because of how Evaristo chose to write the book. It just felt like a lot of words were coming at me with no end in sight. I really only got up to 40 percent before I just gave up.
I get that each chapter was supposed to follow a different woman, but I just had no sense of who anyone was. Once again, the wall of text didn't help. And then we were thrown into another character. I just feel badly that I did not like this at all. I do love to read Black authors and support their work, but the writing style and lack of development just was not a winning read to me.
