The News Where You Are by Catherine O'Flynn

2.0

I really enjoyed Catherine O'Flynn's What I Was, and was looking forward to The News Where You Are. Unfortunately, it felt as though a different author entirely had written this at many points; it has a very different feel to it, and none of the immediacy that What I Was comes with. The novel is readable enough, but it never really goes anywhere; it is certainly more involved in mundanity and the minutiae of life than anything else. The News Where You Are is rather a bland book, with quite dull writing and characters, and I found it almost instantly forgettable. It failed to hold my interest.
