Utopia: A Novel | Heidi Sopinka

Pickpick

This had all the ingredients to make a strong pick; 1970s, the art-world, feminism, a mystery and apparently based on du Maurier‘s Rebecca. It is a pick, but only a soft one.

There were too many elements that didn‘t quite work, so I never felt myself really drawn in. I can‘t put my finger on exactly what (other than the ending that was too far in the future and too exposition-y) so maybe it was me rather than the book.

sarahbarnes Good to hear your thoughts. I just put this one on hold at the library yesterday and will be interested to give it a try when it comes in. 2y
TrishB But a great cover! 2y
squirrelbrain I hope you‘ll like it @sarahbarnes - I‘d have probably been better hibernating it until my brain was a bit less fried! 🤷‍♀️ 2y

batsy All of those elements sound pretty interesting! I have not heard of it, so thanks for putting it on my radar. 2y
Megabooks I‘m intrigued, so maybe I‘ll stack it to #BorrowNotBuy. Thanks! 2y

Do you ever randomly pick a book at the store, actually start reading it first (instead of throwing it in the TBR pile lol), then out out of curiosity look it up on Litsy?... and then go Damn.... I‘m trying to ignore the percentage and just go with the flow of the story. But I‘m seeing what other readers were complaining about. #easilyinfluenced
