hmmmmb private rites. what did everyone think
#guys was it bad i think it was kinda bad :(#i loved our wives & her short story collection but this just didn't connect with me idk what it was#it felt sort of fanfic-y in writing style which sounds mean lol but it really read like someone trying to imitate her writing style based#off of her first two bookswhich is crazy because it is literally by her lol. the characters felt a little tropey especially jude & like#maybe not my place to be discussing nb representation my own weird gender feelings aside but they felt like such an undeveloped paper doll#of a character. soo weird like they were only relevant to reflect the protagonists and i thought maybe that was because the perspective is#from the main three sisters but even when we got jude's perspective they didn't feel like a real fleshed out person. idk idk. and the endin#i was warned the book falls off towards the end but i hadnt been enjoying it all the way through so by the end i was like. yeah that tracks#i'm bummed about it lol idk maybe i'm being too harsh ive seen a lot of positive feedback
