What We Lose | Zinzi Clemmons

Mehso-so

Don‘t let this pretty cover fool you!!! This is NOT a happy, cheerful read. Told in vignettes ( without chapter headings or numbers) this is more of a stream of consciousness musings of a young woman coming to terms with grief, identity, loss and motherhood. Some beautiful sentiments but overall I felt detached from the story. I think the author‘s intentional use of short passages and jarring pacing left me feeling too disconnected.

Reviewsbylola Definitely not for me, but that cover!! 🥰🥰 6y
saresmoore I really loved the disconnected, stilted feel of this. I thought it made the reading experience unique and gave force to the material. But I certainly agree that the insides don‘t match the outside! 6y
Cinfhen I think I went into this book expect a full bodied novel so I was disappointed with the structure @saresmoore I guess I wanted something more solid 6y
Mdargusch Like you said in someone else‘s review - great review but #nothanks 😁 6y
