True crime done right: respectful and self-reflective

unlikable characters is the type of thing that has never bothered me before, but my god, the people in this novel are detestable. nevertheless i tore through it

truly a novel for our times

Really enjoyed the Jewishness of this collection of essays on the body.

RIYL: The Empathy Exams by Leslie Jamison

The Mothers themselves kind of reminded me of the Furies.

RIYL: Commonwealth by Ann Patchett

This was kind of a slog. I just kept thinking “first world problems.”

Plot seemed promising but didn't go anywhere/accurately describe the book and the characters weren't well developed.
