F. Renee's Reviews > The House of Deep Water

The last time I despised a character this much it was when I attempted to read Queenie. Beth. Eliza. Elizabeth. Whatever her name is, was deplorable af. I did not like her even through all her suffering and BS, I despised her. There were too many characters and I hated some of the lines the author used to discuss race relations. I was stunned to see it was written by a Black woman. I finished it only because our book club meeting is a few days away and I’ve been on a reading streak. I kept reading hoping for some sort of character development or for the main character to make sense to me but it never happened. I am sorry. I wanted to like it but I did not. Again. I’m sorry. But. No. I just did not.
