Welcome to Litsy!

I really like “Such A Fun Age”. I hope I really like this one too. But the current 67% rating has me nervous.

I‘m also assuming that stories will never take place during 2020 again. Or at least for a long while.

Read it for the excellent dialogue. So fun. Highly recommend to anyone who loves eavesdropping.

I had an Erich Segal “phase” sometime in college (which started by reading Love Story, of course), and think this was one of the novels I read at that time. And it‘s about a bunch of college students as well, so it fits the prompt perfectly.

I‘m really surprised by the tepid response to this one, as I really liked it. It‘s quieter than her debut and quite nuanced, with every character showing their flaws and making bad choices in a way that feels fully human. A great read for me that was hard to put down.

I know what this book is supposed to be about.
Or at least, what the reviews and interviews claim.

But the “point” didn‘t really land for me.

I couldn‘t put this down. KR has such an amazing way of writing compelling, timely stories about young women - she‘s a must read author for me and I wish I‘d bought this

This was my #BookSpin and I‘m giving it a soft pick. At first I didn‘t like it at all because it took forever to introduce all the characters and I couldn‘t figure out what she was doing with them. The climax of the story is absolutely crazy and I did not expect it at all. I think she‘s trying to make a point about money, power dynamics, and bad choices but it got very messy. I‘m still thinking about it, so that seems worth something.
