This was rough. I felt like in an attempt to make a deep or profound point, this book just fell flat. The characters were unsympathetic and unlikeable. The writing and the story really just felt forced.

Time to start playing catch up on Litsy for books I've read! (Especially the ones I've enjoyed)
This book has recorded a lot of mixed reviews, but I personally loved it. Strange and complicated with bouts of fantastic, it was an interesting world to be in.

I'm not sure how to describe this book. It was a fast read, enjoyable but I found myself puzzled at certain aspects of the storytelling - mainly because it unexpectedly shifts from reality to fantasy and then back to reality without any explanation or fluidity.

One of my biggest literary pet peeves is unnatural dialogue and this book had stilted conversations for days. But I still loved it. It's weird and interesting and reminded me of a fairy tale. Plus I was insanely jealous of Barb's apartment (minus her awful doorman)

I've long had a thing for dysfunctional people, and I'm discovering that a little bit of magic does it for me too, so this book delivers on both accounts. Sad yet mirthful, falling short of gut-wrenching and hysterical, but altogether an enjoyable, quick read.

Summer reading ready! First up: The Unfortunate Importance of Beauty.

Stayed up until 3am finishing this book. It was wonderfully preposterous and raw. Definitely a new fan of #AmandaFilipacchi ❤️

"She will try to continue bathing in the beauty of existence. She will let the universe embrace her, since no man will."

The book is so good!

Happy Memorial Day weekend to all my US friends! So far really loving The Unfortunate Importance of beauty! Read it the whole train ride down to my parents☺️

Running around checking off my To Do list, but I cracked this beauty open last night and oh my! Only 2 chapters in, but really loving it. The writing is fresh, witty and charming.
I also thought it looked perfect in front of this piece my Pops painted that's hanging in our home ☺️❤️.

I picked up “The Unfortunate Importance of Beauty” at Three Lives in the West Village a few days ago after a recommendation from the staff. Part meditation on beauty, part murder mystery? Surrealist literary farce? I‘m in.
