My Purple Scented Novel by Ian McEwan
4.0
"Time can be ruthless with reputation."
Despite how little this story was, it was so clever. With only 36 tiny pages and humongous text, this story managed to tick all my boxes. There's really not much for me to say about this since a 36 page book can't possibly have too big of a synopsis, but I will say that it was a brilliant account of plagiarism and competitive friendship which was handled so well by McEwan. This being my first Ian McEwan read definitely set high expectations and I really can't wait to pick up a full length novel by him! If you're interested in reading this, I think it's 100% worth 20 minutes of your time!
