it's like [b:The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. 16045140 The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. Adelle Waldman https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1361026301l/16045140.SY75.jpg 21823357] really flipped it and reversed it 10 years later and came for my neck

True crime done right: respectful and self-reflective

unlikable characters is the type of thing that has never bothered me before, but my god, the people in this novel are detestable. nevertheless i tore through it

truly a novel for our times

Really enjoyed the Jewishness of this collection of essays on the body.

RIYL: The Empathy Exams by Leslie Jamison

The Mothers themselves kind of reminded me of the Furies.

RIYL: Commonwealth by Ann Patchett

This was kind of a slog. I just kept thinking “first world problems.”

This book never really came together for me. I did find the Epstein sections more enjoyable and better written than the sections with the unnamed writer. The latter was full of philosophical ruminations that were a slog. Like others, I was disappointed that the two storylines never intertwined. Overall, a miss.

Plot seemed promising but didn't go anywhere/accurately describe the book and the characters weren't well developed.
