I read a lot again this week. I had high expectations of all three of them, too high I think in hindsight. Hard Girls is really good, just not what I expected. Both others, hmmm 🤷🏻♀️

This book felt like a De Beauvoir-about-Sartre novel of the 21st century. Set in Stockholm instead of Paris, still very European. Intellectual talks, misunderstandings, casual sex. It didn‘t really work for me, I didn‘t like the three main characters and their conversations. Other than that, nothing much happens unfortunately.

We follow Hugo, August and Thora during their studies in Stockholm. It‘s a love story, a friendship story, yet there‘s a distance throughout, which could be because this is translated from Swedish. An intense story with no real plot, slow and at times frustrating, but I also liked it. Imagine the relationships in Conversations with Friends crossed with Elena Ferrante‘s writing maybe? It also left me hanging, and I kind of liked that too.
I enjoyed this book, which reminded me a little of Sally Rooney (but no one can quite write these types of stories like she does). Wonderful character development and I loved how the story progressed as told from three different perspectives until the end. A portrait of the small ways we make decisions in our lives that don‘t always make sense.
Great trilogy by Jenny Han

Reading is slow. Partly because life is too busy, partly because of a slump 🫤
I did read Rock Paper Scissors, and really enjoyed it ! Thankyou @EverydayImReading for the recommendation 👍🏻
Still reading Daddy‘s Gone A-Hunting , very good.
Started My Policeman, so far so good.
Have a good reading week everyone ♥️
Hi Cindy, I hope all is well with you.
I think this is the last volume the drama covers. I'll have to rewatch it to make sure 🤣
