January 2020 Wrap Up

I did really enjoy this book the author has a real knack for characterization and there are some seriously wacky characters in this book

while I liked all of her insights I liked going on this journey with her and I liked seeing how she dealt with everything and everything that life was throwing at her I don't think it translated as well to the page as it really could have

I adored this book as many people are saying about it there is so much good societal commentary in here

a Midwestern girl moves to New York City and sets her sights on making it in high society but as we very quickly learned nothing is ever enough for her and the more she gains the more she loses including her audience's sympathy

I thought both of these were so fantastic and I actually found that they have quite a bit in common with each other

this is such a weird book to talk about because it is a mash up of whimsy destitution but in a way that just works

for me this was a dream of a book because there is so much that you as a reader have to extrapolate because she is not forthright about her thoughts and her feelings but they're all right there if you care to look for them

the secrets we kept was a flaming trash fire and I do not care who hears me say that

the really best way I can describe the experience of reading this book is that it just gives you this sense of quiet the way he describes nature in this book is so remarkably beautiful

while he's giving you all of this great scientific information he's also telling stories that relate back to the information in some kind of way and throughout the whole thing he is really funny

unfortunately I found the story pretty boring it never felt like it should have been its own book it always felt like it belongs in a book within a larger context

I thought both of these were so fantastic and I actually found that they have quite a bit in common with each other
