Feeling a bit iffy about this one already lol. There‘s definitely Vladimir vibes, which I enjoyed for the English academia until it went completely off the rails at the end, but this doesn‘t have that same interesting concept yet. There‘s nothing pulling me into the academia, and the characters talk, think, and act in ways that feel so unrealistic. Maybe I‘m just struggling with the narrative POV switching of the student to the professors. #BOTM
pickI wasn‘t sure if I would like this - expecting some aging professor unable to resist the allure of young impressionable college student clinging to their every action. But it wasn‘t that, at all and the author could have written married couple Simone and Ethan into a myriad of professional settings and still tell a similar story. It was more about what keeps a couple coupled when their world around them offers temptations.
pickThis one is very unique.
The book is the thesis of a graduate student who feels slighted by a popular professor.
Every so often, I would forget what I was reading, and the narrator would pop in to remind me.
It's hard to explain, but very creative.

As an Academic Adviser, I felt like I had to pick up this book! I can see how it could be polarizing, and it might prioritize cleverness over emotional resonance, but I still appreciated a lot about it. It has a cool structure, a unique narrator, and a strong voice. At just over 200 pages and with an absorbing writing style, the pages flew by. Playful, strange, meta. #BOTM
pickThis is a fast read at only 213 pages, but also a great look at the complexity and awkwardness of adult relationships and infidelities.
BOTM August book are up! Sooo many good ones, for once! I wanted Forget me not, too, but I didn't want to go crazy, so I'll just get that one from the library!
I decided to go with this one for #BOTM!
Am I the only one who misses the “Why I Love It” section? 😕
