A Lonely Girl Is a Dangerous Thing

A Lonely Girl Is a Dangerous Thing | Jessie Tu

I received all of this as a gift from the wonderful human @CarolynM I will always remember her as the first person I ever started to interact with on Litsy. I had totally forgotten you were going to send me Tennis Lessons & I‘ve wanted the tagged book ever since it came out last year. Thanks. I feel so spoilt. I can‘t believe you remembered about my ❤️ for that 🍫. As you can see by there being only 1 block in the pic, I ate the other right away.

so-so

I'm in 2 minds about this book. On the one hand it's the best evocation of a gifted musician's experience of music making and performance I've ever read, but on the other it's an oddly unconvincing study of a person unwilling or unable to form satisfying relationships (platonic or romantic). It may say more about me than the book, but I found the frequent crude sexual references & sex scenes made me less than sympathetic to the MC. #BookspinBingo

JennyM Hum...sound intriguing. I have this on hold at the library. How are you doing? 5y

CarolynM @JennyM I'll be interested to see what you think of it. There's interesting stuff in there, but idk, the gross sex stuff put me off. Maybe people really behave like that, but I want it to be a bit more convincing. I'm ok, thanks for asking😘 Just taking it one day at a time. 5y

Cathythoughts Hmmmm , I‘d say this one would put me off too 5y

erzascarletbookgasm Gross sex stuff.. certainly unpleasant to read! 😬 5y

JennyM @CarolynM it can get all a bit much with the graphic stuff when it isn‘t always necessary! Glad you are ok. If you have time, send me an email as I‘d like to send you a book to help you through the next few weeks. If you have any special requests, let me know. I‘ll order from Readings #shoplocal j.murfield at griffith.edu.au 😘 5y

TheAromaofBooks Sounds like I can give this one a miss! 😬 5y

CarolynM @JennyM That's really sweet of you, I'll send you an email tomorrow😘 5y

Rissreadswithcats I feel for you in Melbourne! My daughter is there. She turns 21 on the 27th and we can‘t be with her! 😞 5y

CarolynM @Rissreads I'm really sorry Nerissa, that's so hard on you and her. My daughter will be 21 in September, we are all hoping that by then she'll be able to celebrate as she would like with her 2 best friends, since she'll be totally over her parents by then😂 5y

Jeg Stay safe. Hope the time passes quickly for you and that all this will get things under control. 5y

CarolynM @Jeg Thanks Joy😘 5y

pick

Child prodigies are cute, but have you ever wondered what happens to them when they grow up? Jena‘s career as a violinist came to a screeching halt as a teenager, after a public humiliation that “blew up the lives” of her, her family, and her teacher. A Lonely Girl Is A Dangerous Thing interrogates female desire, relationships, and power – it‘s Ottessa Moshfegh meets Lisa Taddeo. Extended review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/new-releases/
