Even Weirder Than Before
Even Weirder Than Before | Susie Taylor
4 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Daisy's job is to be as unobtrusive as possible. But when her father suddenly leaves and her mother breaks down, Daisy's old life disappears, and she is set free in the rift created between her parents. Susie Taylor's sharp, quick-witted prose carries Daisy through a family cataclysm, relationships with boys, and her increasingly confusing feelings towards girls, especially Wanda. A refreshingly perceptive and honest debut, Even Weirder Than Before explores the nature of family, friendships, and sexual awakenings--and introduces one of Newfoundland's most exciting new writers.

There was something just special about this book. The vibe, the characters, reliving that time of life. Really struck me.

While I appreciate the realism of this book, it felt *too* real. It follows Daisy from grade 8-12 in the 90s as she navigates her parents' divorce, her 1st BF and sexual experiences, friendship. The writing is very plain, which I kind of enjoyed at first. But after a while it felt lacking, like a simple recitation of events rather than a story with meaning. I didn't feel emotionally engaged by the story or its characters, who all fell a bit flat.

Starting this new #queer #CanLit book over breakfast. All the blueberries in my cereal this morning are from my garden! #BooksAndBreakfast

AlaMich I want to grow blueberries! You have to wait a few years before you get fruit, right? 4y
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @AlaMich I think so yes! I inherited my two bushes from the previous owner of our house, and I think they had been there for 2 years. We have got tons so far this year! 4y

5🌟 I love the way Susie Taylor captured the essence of being a teenager. Daisy is a great character. This book is refreshing, tender, honest, heartbreaking and compulsively readable.
For a debut book and I was impressed and affected by Susie Taylor's prose. Honestly one of the best books I've ever read about the complexities of growing up.Reccomended Reading!
