The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
2.0
pachinko but boring and somehow felt longer, thematically compelling but the characters are just so poorly developed beyond their melancholy
Grand Union by Zadie Smith
2.0
Reinforces my stance that novelists should either have published their short story collections BEFORE their first acclaimed novel or wait for it to be done posthumously, because it’s inevitably a letdown
How to Be Both by Ali Smith
3.0
Very coolly done but don’t try and read this novel in large print like I did because it experiments with form etc, and I feel like it would have been easier on my brain in standard size text. A real misfortune!
The White Album: Essays by Joan Didion
The most entertaining and informative blend of unintelligible and haphazard half-finished musings you’ll read.
My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante
5.0
One of those books where you’ll read it and feel like it’s about your life even though it isn’t (because CHARACTER)
