so-soI picked up this book from a used bookstore because it was a national bestseller and a national book award finalist. I have to say, I didn‘t like it as much as I thought I would! I think this partly it‘s more heady than what I was willing to give it time for, but also I just didn‘t totally connect to the characters. Definitely something different to read though!

panHalfway through the book, the pace and cohesion really dropped off. I skimmed the rest of the book and find myself being disappointed with the conclusion. The final chapter read especially disappointing.
What is this fuckery?! Hello, female essentialism. How this novel ends up becoming a trope-reliant coming-of-age narrative while heavily commenting on the Bosnian War astounds me. Like a couple of Goodreads reviewers, I think I'll be skimming the rest of this one.
While I have more than a issues with this novel, she hits the nail right on the head here. #believewomen
One beach read down, and on to the next!
And today I learned what the word "decorticate" means, even though I am rereading this wickedly funny novel. How did I not look it up the first time?
pickI love this book. It's an amazing story about life not going perfectly but ending up with a better outcome than one imagined.
