Read February 2022 - Zoom Reading Circle
Well, I didn't care for this one so much. The storyline felt too convoluted to me - hard to follow in many ways. It was too dark and the characters were all unlikeable. No fun to read - in fact, it was depressing. Laura had such a bad life. Yes, it was hopeful at the very end, but good grief... at what cost? Theo was sort of likable but was also pitiful - and a thief. Miriam was a victim, but also a horrible person. Were we supposed to feel sorry for all of them? This was just way too much 'yuck'. I wish I hadn't read it. :(
My score was 2.5 out of 5 stars. Zoom Reading Circle scored it a bit higher at 3.6.
Quotes from the book...
Nobody felt eighty.
She overreacted to slights, that's just how she was, and knowing a thing about yourself didn't stop it from happening.
