One of those books I just could not put down. Small town drama, class disparity, murders, pain, violence, inter generational trauma, care wrapped up and delivered in a masterful voice. Finished it mid morning in the bath, felt fitting given Camille‘s situation at that time. I‘m hooked and look forward to reading more Flynn.
Started reading Stoner recently and I'm absolutely obsessed, despite trying to avoid read heavy reads at the moment as I'm in the final month of my PhD write up I find that I'm grabbing for the book everytime I take a break
Getting ready for an interesting read and half expecting really dark things to happen
Mrs. Bridge encapsulates the ennui of a 1930‘s-40‘s upper middle class housewife in Kansas City. There are some really laugh out loud moments, like when she finds a nude magazine in her son‘s dresser drawer and thinks it can‘t be because those have been legislated against. 😂
Mrs. Bridge‘s primary concern in life is what other people will think or say. Tip: Don‘t leave home without a purse!
Logan starts off his senior year of high school broken hearted having been dumped by his gf of 3yrs. But a new girl shows up and she‘s tall, quirky, and fun. And no matter how much she tries to keep things platonic, Logan kisses her and that‘s when she has to tell him she was born a boy. I really liked this book a lot. There are complaints about Logan, we‘re in his head the whole way through. He‘s an 18 yo from rural Missouri. It‘s a double 👇🏼
Stoner: ⭐⭐1/2
The Necessary Lie: ⭐⭐⭐

I struggled a lot with Stoner, the book and the character: it took a while to grab me, for most of the novel I was not interested enough and I really disliked the side characters.. at the end I was just waiting for him to react and fight for what he loved.
Anyhow, it's not all negative.. i really appreciate Williams's writing style and the poem collection "The Necessary Lie".
