Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel
Did not finish book. Stopped at 24%.

I found out the author is a Zionist about 20% of the way through so I'm not continuing. It was a bit boring anyway and my expectations went from being really high to crashing and burning instantly
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
3.75
I would've given this 4 stars but there were so many chapters that felt useless, too long and unnecessary. This thought especially expressed when reading whatever was going on in the very last chapter. Just so overwritten and boring in the grand scheme of story. I found myself saying "Donna Tartt, who fucking cares?"
Also her ability to sprinkle in random bits of racism and racial stereotypes to any POC she writes... Jesus fucking christ.
