Gods in Alabama
by Joshilyn Jackson
The main character didn't feel as fleshed out as she should've in 300+ pages. I think for that reason, I really didn't care about her romantic relationship. (Scenes with Burr largely felt like a waste of space, certainly the ones about her Southern family's prejudice toward him. I might feel differently had that not seemed so normalized - "I don't care how you feel about it... as long as you're a good enough liar" instead of something more along the lines of, "I chose him because he's a good person; that's what you should want for me in a partner" etc.)
Front end of the book was a lot more engaging than the back end. Overall, meh, but entertaining enough to warrant 2.5 stars.
