did not like it
bookshelves: dnf

I'm afraid I found this dreary and too much of a struggle to finish. The narrative voice lacks character, the whole dysfunctional family thing is such a well-established trope that it needs something to make it feel fresh or different and this one didn't manage that. This may work better for fans of family sagas than fans of litfic - just not for me.

Adina (way behind) I do not like family sagas to much so I will skip this for sure.

Roman Clodia It felt like a book I'd read many times before, Adina, and I just couldn't be bothered to finish it.
