I canāt completely pinpoint why but this was not as good as I wanted it to be. After reading āBright Young Womenā I was really looking to reading another popular Jessica Knoll read especially since this one was turned into a movie. The book felt very anti-climatic. I knew that bad things had to have happened in Aniās past but I felt like the telling of that story came out of thin air. I feel as if I still have unanswered questions about Ani. She was an incredibly mysterious character that I couldnāt connect with and her story seems unresolved for me. The premise of the book is incredibly complex and intriguing though so I didnāt dislike it I just felt like I was wanting more. My book club group decided to read this one and watch the movie together to compare so Iām excited to check out the movie because I think this story has very good potential for a screen adaptation.
Iām SO glad she ditched the jerk, but secretly wished sheād ended up with her former teacher? Iād love to read a part 2 where we hear about her struggles as an āoldā single woman in NYC and the aftermath of the documentary premiere.
Unlikable main character. She's awful.
