As far as sequels go McFadden still delivered with the character of Millie and her latest “dilemma”. The second part saved the book from being somewhat repetitive to the first. An engaging read.
Lack lustre. Tries to pull together threads of postnatal depression, racism, feminism and pop culture but doesn’t quite land - convincingly - on any of them.
An adorable and amusing recount of a meet-cute between two unlikely individuals. Henry pulls threads of abandonment, love and friendship for a delightful summer read.
Slightly different to Hoover’s other texts, ‘All your perfects’ shines a light on infertility and the passive fractures that ripple into relationships. With the prose narrated by Quinn, our protagonist, flipping between both past and present, this is a moving insight and attempt at capturing what is an intimate adversity for many.
An interesting recount, narrated from the experiences of a grieving widow. Due to the jumpy nature of the narrator's memory - and battles with dreams versus reality - the plot becomes rather convoluted at times, struggling to hook you in.
