so-so

⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Bodies are weird things to live in.” Indeed they are. This slim novel about teen female boxing was a bit less developed than I‘d hoped, but stylistically, the snippets ended up working well. The incessant firstname lastname repetition started driving me mad by the halfway mark, though.

squirrelbrain I had high hopes for this one, but maybe not. 🤷‍♀️ 2d

britt_brooke @squirrelbrain Still give it a try! It‘s not bad, just not maybe what I expected. Would be curious to hear what you think! 2d

Twilight Sleep | Edith Wharton

pick

This was like a satirical Fitzgerald; depressing & amusing all at once. Characters that needed to be more thoughtful were a tad underdeveloped, as such (Nona). But I felt for her & almost wish there was a sequel where she gets her own version of a "happy ending". A 3-star pick because it didn't quite stick the landing as I expected it to, but it's astutely Whartonian in how it exposes the vacuousness of the capitalist elite. #WhartonBuddyRead

Graywacke Glad you gave it a pick. Not my favorite Wharton either, but I‘m certainly glad i read it. Maybe a different ending ties it better. 4w

batsy @Yuki_Onna It's so well-suited to the book 🙂 4w

batsy @Graywacke I'm glad I read it, too. You can sense her discomfort with modern norms; it gives this book more of a cynical edge than her other works. 4w

Leftcoastzen It felt Fitzgerald-y to me as well. 2w

batsy @Leftcoastzen It's very interesting! Considering that Gatsby and this one were published within a few years of each other. 2w

Vacationland: A Novel | Meg Mitchell Moore

#ItTakesAllKinds

This title #WithVacation is in my TBR. I read one of the author‘s previous book & enjoyed it. This one is set in Maine & since I have always lived in the PNW & Hawaii, I find summers & vacations on east coast beaches intriguing!
