And while I love the plots of his books, I think they're fascinating, I hate his execution. I think it is so plotting and so boring.

I can't get Great Expectations out of my head plot-wise, but when I tried to reread it after first picking it up in high school, it was such a slog.
This is the sequel to Magpie Murders, which I absolutely loved earlier this year.
It was longlisted for the Women's Prize this year, but also there's just something about it that feels reminiscent of my favorite book, Rules of Civility.
I definitely suspect that this book is going to share some similarities with The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer, which is one of my all-time favorite fiction books. I'm hoping then that I fall under this book's spell in the same way that I did when I was reading The Interestings.
