wanderingbean 's review for:
Greenwich Park
by Katherine Faulkner
I've seen so much buzz around Greenwich Park online, so I was so excited to receive an ARC last week. Faulkner's first novel centers on Helen, a young woman finally pregnant with her child after suffering numerous losses (so content warning on that one). When her sister-in-law bails on her for a childbirth class, Helen meets Rachel instead, a young pregnant woman who demands a lot of attention from her and begins inserting herself into Helen's life. Faulker does a good job of establishing the scene and leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for the reader to follow. However, I found Helen to be such a flat and uninteresting character. We don't really see her develop, which kept me from getting invested in the book. And as other reviewers have said, Rachel is the most annoying character almost to the point of distraction.
Ultimately, I think there's a lot of potential in Faulkner's writing, and I look forward to reading her next book even if this one didn't hit quite right for me.
Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC of this book.
