A Love Story for Bewildered Girls
A Love Story for Bewildered Girls | Emma Morgan
10 posts | 3 read | 9 to read
Grace loves a woman. Annie loves a man. Violet isn't quite sure. But you'll love them all... Grace has what one might call a 'full and interesting life' which is code for not married and has no kids. Her life is the envy of her straight friends, but all this time she has been waiting in secret for love to hit her so hard that she runs out of breath, like the way a wave in a rough sea bowls you over, slams you into the sand, and nearly drowns you. When Grace meets a beautiful woman at a party, she falls suddenly and desperately in love. At the same party, lawyer Annie meets the man of her dreams - the only man she's ever met whose table manners are up to her mother's standards. And across the city, Violet, who is afraid of almost everything, is making another discovery of her own: that for the first time in her life she's falling in love with a woman. A Love Story for Bewildered Girls is a moving and exquisitely funny novel about love, sex and heartbreak. 'Funny, honest, brilliant' Nina Stibbe, bestselling author of Love, Nina 'I absolutely loved this book by Emma Morgan which follows 3 women's very different love lives... I inhaled it' Emma Gannon, Sunday Times best-selling author and host of the podcast Ctrl-Alt-Delete 'An utterly gorgeous novel. It will forever hold my heart in its pages' Pandora Sykes, co-host of The High-Low podcast 'Exquisitely tender, beautifully written, funny and sad. . . a story about women rescuing themselves and each other. It made my heart swell' Daisy Buchanan, author of How to Be a Grown-up 'Funny, touching, uplifting, thoroughly modern' Lauren Bravo, author of What Would the Spice Girls Do?

The representation is great. The plot and the characters are not. This type of book is not, and never was, my thing. I keep reading them because, who knows, one day it might be my thing. I'm realising now that no, it will never be my thing. I will return now to my reading rut and reside there in peace and comfort.

ravenlee I‘ve had this exact experience with thrillers - they sound good, people say they‘re good, I read them and don‘t get it. I‘ve tried so many times, I‘m just over it. Back to my corner with my own genres, thanks! 13mo

Three young women exploring themselves through relationships - one finds the man her mother always wanted, one falls for a woman at sight, and another surprisingly finds herself with a woman after a series of men who took advantage of her according to her roommate. I enjoyed the last 100 pages of this novel best because I kept falling asleep at the beginning, but that might be my quarantine brain.

3.5 ⭐️ A fun read, with super likable characters with some really funny dialogue. A little bit forgettable of a story, nothing much happens, but these three women are so easy to cheer for, as they navigate romance and friendship.

#Readinggoals #SelfimprovementSeptember

So this is my #SeptemberTBR as of now....
But mostly because all my holds at the library came in at once! 😂 Who knows if I‘ll get to them all before they have to go back....🤷‍♀️
And everything gets dropped for the new Atwood!

#Audiotbr - ‘Before we were yours‘ for a book club, and ‘Brideshead revisited‘ as my public domain pick for #booked2019

OriginalCyn620 I really want to read Nina Hill and the new Atwood!!! 😊 5y
