Books about books are lovely. Being preached to from those books is less lovely. Having a selfish, self-absorbed, whiny, immature, and oblivious protagonist who needs all that preaching is just annoying. That’s this book.
Additionally, the timeframes in the book were so jumbled! Ella, Charlie, and Sally have a makeshift book club. The day Ella decides they’ll read “The Great Gatsby,” Charlie is nearly done with it. Verity finds out about art classes one day and seemingly has one full class under her belt the next. Maybe just the transitions were bad, but I was pretty confused.
