panI hated most things about this book. In fact I believe my ratings of other books were based on comparison to this one 😂. Our panel reviewed it here

If you liked it, do me a favor and drop a comment in our blog with your review. I like there to be a diversity of view points in our reviews but none of us liked it. #bookerlonglist2024
BarbaraBB It‘ll be my next read but somehow I expect to end up with the majority here! 2w
JenP @BarbaraBB I do hope you like it. It was very painful for me and I don‘t wish that on you 😂 2w

Graywacke @BarbaraBB it demands slow. You might like it. It has some real appeal. 2w
JenP @Graywacke appreciate it. I mentioned you specifically bc I saw that you enjoyed it more than we did. I do think it was very well written but simply a bad match for me. 2w
JenP I didn‘t rush thorough it honestly. I read it when the list was leaked so I had some time. For me this was like a way less superior In search of lost time (in terms of style, descriptions of the mundane) and my biggest issue was that it felt very emotionally sterile (until the end). 2w

BarbaraBB Thanks for the heads up @Graywacke 🤍 2w
squirrelbrain I just commented too…. 2w
JenP @squirrelbrain thanks! I didn‘t tag you bc I think you had picked “so so” for your review of it but it‘s good to have some positive reviews up on the blog. Usually we are much more mixed in our reviews but two of my panel abandoned it lol 2w
charl08 Still to read this one. 2w
