I don't really know what to make of this book. It was kind of shallow and repetitive. The reviews say it's funny - I have no idea where.
The only interesting part was when the protagonist started doing things during her blackout, I thought that would also lead somewhere but nope. And the backstory into her miserable childhood and parents was also intriguing.
Didn't really get the ending either. Dunno, maybe just not a book for me. So far I've read 2 contemporary super popular books and I didn't like either

Nádherná kniha, pokud máte rádi Dívka, žena, jiné od Bernardine Evaristo, tohle je knížka pro vás. Má podobnou strukturu, vypráví příběh rodiny během několika generací a dekád, soustředí se na téma identity a rasy. Příběh plyne naprosto skvěle, postavy jsou úžasně vykreslené a nejsou ploché, dává čtenáři prostor sympatizovat i s lidmi, kteří se chovají nepříjemě. Moc mě potěšila nečekaná queer reprezentace - čtenářstvo, pro které je to důležité, potěší, kdo queer postavy nevyhledává si nebude mít důvod stěžovat, že by to tam bylo nějak moc v popředí, protože není. Mně to udělalo vážně radost. Vážně doporučuji ♥

I loved this. Loved the pacing, characters, plot, balance between the mystery and side storylines <3

i enjoyed this so much! likeable protagonists (one is queer!), cool thoughts about love and Passions in general, sometimes funny, love it <3
