Really Good, Actually: A Novel | Monica Heisey

so-so

Nope, this was really rather annoying, actually. Clearly I‘m not the target market for a book about a millennial who is getting divorced in her late 20s, but still…

I thought the first couple of chapters were OK and mildly amusing, but then it became apparent that the MC had no redeeming qualities whatsoever and was just obnoxious. Some authors can write such characters and you revel in their nastiness, but this wasn‘t one of those cases.

squirrelbrain I was just about to tag @Megabooks Cindy! @Cinfhen See, I didn‘t like it either Meg. Probably should have panned it but I‘m not that brave! 2y

Oryx I was interested in this one too, but then I saw a few bad reviews here. So this had confirmed it. Not going to bother with this one. 2y

Ruthiella Totally agree, a book about an awful person can be compelling and interesting, but it sounds like it missed the mark. I heard about this book on a podcast where the author was a guest. (edited) 2y

Susanita Okay, your first sentence made me 😂 2y

BarbaraBB 😂😂 I‘ll pass! 2y

squirrelbrain @Oryx @Ruthiella I think the issue was the whole book was rather one-dimensional. It may work for those in their twenties as I‘m sure it would resonate more, but that‘s definitely not me! 🤣 2y

Ruthiella @squirrelbrain The author is also a writer for TV. I wonder if it would work better on screen (think Carrie Bradshaw in SATC). 2y

Megabooks You were much nicer in your review than me 😇, but I 💯💯💯💯 agree! Worst of the year so far for me. 2y

squirrelbrain It could work better on screen, but she was like the bad bits of all of the SATC characters put together, and none of the good! 🤣 @Ruthiella 2y

Librarybelle I just put this on hold at the library. I‘ll enter it with caution once I get it… 2y
