A review by bookedbymadeline
The Lifeguards by Amanda Eyre Ward
Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.
I loved The Jetsetters but this was a let down. So much filler!!
Not loving the writing style, it bounces between overly descriptive and doing more telling than showing. There’s so many added caveats that are unnecessary and could’ve been cut and nothing about the story would be affected. I know I add parentheses to my reviews but the amount of parentheses use instead of just writing it as a new sentence was obnoxious 🙈

The characters are one dimensional and Stereotypical “boy moms” obsessed with their sons 🤢 so far I haven’t learned anything about these people other than how much they obsess over their sons and how rich they are
Graphic: Death, Grief, and Alcohol
Minor: Ableism and Racism
