[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kristin Hannah books are so cringe and my book club is completely horny for them. Winter Garden - you mean to tell me you couldn't figure out your beautiful, tragic, detached, abusive Russian mom was maaaaaybe somehow traumatized during WWII and that's her big dark secret? So shocking! I would have never guessed she had to eat book paste to survive the siege of Leningrad! The plot holes and watery characterization are just too much for me. And I'm really not a snob, I watch Hallmark and Lifetime movies. [b]I think I take issue with the fact that these books want you to think they are well-crafted lit and they are just not.

I also hated, hated, hated A Little Life but could at least acknowledge the writing was beautiful. [/quote]

This is a great observation. It’s definitely my problem with The Goldfinch, which was heralded as Donna Tart’s long-awaited return to literary fiction.[/quote]

Yes to this. Her writing is so cringe but my book club friends love Hannah, and think it’s literary fiction. [/quote]
