A Love Story For Bewildered Girls

Author: Emma Morgan

Published by: Penguin Books

Pages: 262

Format: Paperback

My Rating ★★★1/2

Grace has what one might call a 'full and interesting life', which is code for not married and has no kids. Her life is the envy of her friends, who assume she doesn't want that kind of commitment. But all this time she has been waiting in secret for a love that will take her breath away, like the way a wave in a rough sea bowls you over, slams you into the sand and nearly drowns you.

When Grace meets a beautiful woman at a party, she falls suddenly and desperately in love. At the same party, lawyer Annie meets the man of her dreams – the only man she’s ever met whose table manners are up to her mother’s standards. And across the city Violet, who is afraid of almost everything, is making a discovery of her own: that for the first time in her life she may be falling in love with a woman.

My thoughts:

A Love Story for Bewildered Girls is a book that centres on three women: Annie, Violet and Grace, three real and delightfully flawed women exploring how love and relationships don’t always turn out the way you want them to.

This is a quirky story about three women's intersecting lives and loves with a mix of sexualities and much confusion about life choices. It is a story of firstloves and romance, but it’s also one about the strength of female friendship, the importance of family, and knowing who you are and what you really want in life. The individual stories of each of the women were interesting, but I engaged with the book much more once the three story strands eventually intersected about halfway through the novel. I found this to be a funny and engaging book, with some tender and honest moments too.

It is a pretty solid debut from Emma Morgan, and I enjoyed her writing style very much. It’s a quick read and the writing is easy to get into. The way the writer normalised lesbian relationships was really refreshing; but it is truly the friendships between women that are the heart of this book. The book beautifully presents friendships and relationships that are able to endure despite the difficulties in life. It is a beautiful, tender and quirky novel that is both happy and, at times, heartbreakingly sad.

A Love Story For Bewildered Girls is very character-driven, and this book is much more a study of characters than a strong or complicated plot. It is a gentle book that slowly unfolds itself as you read, and I mostly thought the characters were intriguing and fun to read about. The ending was satisfying and sweet, and I found this to be a cute, girly read, but perhaps not one that will particularly linger in my mind for very long.

Overall reaction:
