Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout
3.0
I'd probably give this one 3 1/2 stars.
I enjoyed the writing in this book. It gave each story a sense of "realness" and emotional depth. It was much more "show" than "tell," which I always appreciate in writing.
One of the things I didn't like about this book was that you never get to hear how each story pans out, which is a little frustrating to me. I understand that it's part of the style and done intentionally, but it left me wanting.
I also thought the book was a bit heavy on the strong language - worse in some parts than others.
