Reese Witherspoon Book Club: February 2024
Reese strikes again with a book that I had very little emotion connected to at the end -- do you ever read a book and then think to yourself, "What actually happened in this book?" and second guess whether or not you read it? That was this book for me. I did, I did read and listen to the book and I just couldn't connect to any of the characters. Sure, there were some great moments where race, gender, coming of age, etc., all played key roles in the scenes as they played out but... as a whole, I just felt "meh" at the end of the book.
