pickBecky is like if a British Ottessa Moshfegh told the story of the News Of The World phone-hacking scandal, using William Thackeray's Vanity Fair as a template. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/becky-sarah-may/
bailedThe next one on my #netgalley list, pub in the UK next week. And yes, I bailed on a book-yay!
It wasn‘t that bad - just not good enough when I have so many other books to read. It‘s an updated Vanity Fair and the MC is supposedly based on Rebekah Brooks, of UK newspaper infamy.
To me it read like a trashy tabloid and there wasn‘t enough to hold my interest. It‘s a long time since I read VF too so it just didn‘t connect as a retelling either.
