Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
Thank you to Knopf Doubleday and NetGalley for a gifted ebook of Great Circle! All opinions in this review are my own.
I was intrigued by the premise of Great Circle, but unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. I read about 150 out of 580 pages before deciding to DNF this novel.
While I typically enjoy a novel with multiple timelines, I found the opening of this one confusing. There were too many time shifts and it was difficult at first to figure out how they all connected.
From the part that I read, it seemed like quite a bit of the narrative wasn't necessary and I didn't feel like slogging through another 400 pages to finally make it to Marian's final flight.
