bookishpip 's review for:

Girl by Edna O'Brien
1.0

I very rarely don’t finish a book. However in this case I had to make an exception to the rule. 1 star ratings are rare for me - but we aren’t able to give 0 stars on Goodreads, and snippets of what I read were evocative.

I got about 50 pages in before I put it down for good. The blurb didn’t give anything of the plot away and I was surprised by the content.

A lady named Rachel reviewed this book in some detail and expressed very eloquently the exact same issues that I had with the book; link is below. I don’t have anything more to add and would recommend reading this review.
