Miss Benson's Beetle

Cute and absurdist. Its got good structure but I never really bought into the premise nor liked the characters enough to be invested.

It was not at all what I expected, and I loved it!

This book was almost good. It would have been 4 stars if the author eliminated Mr. Mundic and all of the slurs that the they felt way too comfortable incorporating. He was so unnecessary and offensive. This story did not need him in the slightest. The dog wouldn't have had to die either. I'm so mad because I loved Margery and Enid. Their friendship and how they grew together was beautiful. The mystery behind Enid's identity and what she did was hilarious. I loved that she got her baby and they found the beetle. Ugh. It really could have been 4 stars.
