I read a lot again this week. I had high expectations of all three of them, too high I think in hindsight. Hard Girls is really good, just not what I expected. Both others, hmmm 🤷🏻♀️

so-soThis book felt like a De Beauvoir-about-Sartre novel of the 21st century. Set in Stockholm instead of Paris, still very European. Intellectual talks, misunderstandings, casual sex. It didn‘t really work for me, I didn‘t like the three main characters and their conversations. Other than that, nothing much happens unfortunately.

pickWe follow Hugo, August and Thora during their studies in Stockholm. It‘s a love story, a friendship story, yet there‘s a distance throughout, which could be because this is translated from Swedish. An intense story with no real plot, slow and at times frustrating, but I also liked it. Imagine the relationships in Conversations with Friends crossed with Elena Ferrante‘s writing maybe? It also left me hanging, and I kind of liked that too.
pickI enjoyed this book, which reminded me a little of Sally Rooney (but no one can quite write these types of stories like she does). Wonderful character development and I loved how the story progressed as told from three different perspectives until the end. A portrait of the small ways we make decisions in our lives that don‘t always make sense.
