The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz

1.0

---

I was so excited to get this from the library after a long wait. Realizing this author wrote a book I really couldn’t stand - You Should Have Known - I thought I’d give it a go anyway. Though YSHK was ludicrous, it was readable. And alas, The Plot was not. Maybe the author was being paid by the word because there were so many unnecessary ones. Slogged to page 20, skimmed the rest and I’m done. Five sentences to say what could be stated in one sentence is okay with a truly great writer. But wildly irritating in the wrong hands. So relieved I resisted the hype and didn’t buy it.
