A review by dianametzger
Days of Awe by Lauren Fox

2.0

I think Fox is a good writer. She has moments in this book where I thought her observations were smart, detailed, insightful but on the whole this was THE BIGGEST so what story ever. The structuring felt so unnecessary until the very end and even that payoff--from glorifying a dead friend to seeing their flaws still felt pretty meh and I felt like the main character never really changed and felt really flat. I felt like I was constantly being told about these characters rather than getting to know them through dialogue or action. The book was a slough and just felt like a really small story.
