[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been striking out some lately. I just finished Normal People by Sally Rooney and was really disappointed by the end. It’s kind of a romance that you can tell will have some darkness and heavy topics to it which I was ok with but the ending was just rushed and trite an and also upsetting. I haven’t been that let down by an ending in a long time.

I also read Abby Jimenez’s latest, the night we first met, which is definitely a rom com about how a mistaken first impression of the male main character but I didn’t enjoy it as much as her earlier books, I think the tension was just too entirely self inflicted. Or maybe I’m cranky lately.

I did read and like the Night Circus, which was a bit of a departure for me since I rarely read anything with mystical/magical themes but it was very interesting and nicely done. The night circus is what it sounds like, a circus only open at night and it’s a very self contained world in a lot of ways. There is a little love story which I wasn’t actually expecting but it’s nicely done. I found the main female character very likable, which helps.

Not sure what I will read next.
