The Homemade God

pan

Oh no 😣 I loved miss bensons beetle and Harold fry and Iv met Rachel Joyce the author a few times , lovely lady & a great writer but this was just flat for me , it takes far too long to get going , the sibling rivalry I found boring 😑 got me personally it was a big disappointment and not the gripping summer read I was hoping for

janeycanuck What?!? No! This is very sad to hear, I have loved every Rachel Joyce I‘ve read so far 2mo

Bookbuyingaddict @janeycanuck yes so have I ! 😔but this one just not for me I couldn‘t engage with any of the characters and the father was a complete narcissist & took far too long to get going 😣 2mo

This was a very different story than the Harold Fry series, but I was engrossed in the lives of the Kemp siblings. It‘s an interesting study of who siblings become as adults when their only parent is a narcissist (btw, that word never used in this book), and how hard and long those children work to be seen by that parent.

so-so

I wanted to like this one more, but in the end I had conflicting feelings about it…maybe an unpopular opinion. 🤷🏻‍♀️

3/5⭐️
