Conversations with Friends

3.25 stars and i'll tell you why

the writing was exceptionally well in this book, poetic at the right places and hit home on the other but as with the first one, i could not connect with the characters or the story. it didn't fee personal to me, it felt like i am standing somewhere far away and i am being forced to watch the story unfold. i understood frances' pain but i didn't feel it, you know. i felt an ache in my heart but i didn't want to cry for her. i hated that she was lonely but not once did i want to coddle and embrace her. i felt disassociated the entire time i read this.

in truth, it was a lot better than normal people, and that alone deserves a whole star.
