A review by beckyramone
Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann
4.0
Wow it's been a long time since I've reviewed a book. I have a lot of catching up to do.
I made myself a schedule to read this book because I borrowed it from the library and obviously was concerned I wouldn't be able to finish it in time. But I did! Once I got into the rhythm of the narrative it was.. not exactly a quick read, but easier than I imagined it would be. There is definitely a plot here, it just takes a while to get it going. By the end of it, I was so 100% with what Ellmann was doing, that even though it was slightly cheesy, I loved it. I can't say I would reread this entire book, but I would like to own it to be able to reread the sections where I related to the character most.
