How to walk away from a writer

How to walk away by Katherine Center

March 28, 2021 by Nart Leave a Comment

I generally try to give an author a couple of books before I put them on my Never Buy list. This makes 2 books from Katherine Center and she is officially on that list forever. I saw hints of problematic white feminism centring on a selfish Beckie who thinks she’s a gift to the world simply by existing in Happiness for Beginners. Those elements are that much more present in this novel. Plot: Becky (her actual name is Margaret) has never had an independent thought […]

“Well, astronomers did spend most of their time being wrong. What mattered was what they did when they realized the truth.”

The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite

This book is well loved by cannonballers and for good reason. It is a love story between two women fighting to find happiness in a world set up to withhold it from them in every arena, and somehow it manages to do this while being gentle, sweet, and fairly low on angst. Plot: Lucy is an astronomer, not that anyone knows it, since everything she’s ever done she’s published under her father’s name. When her long time girlfriend marries a man for the financial security […]

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf minus the self awareness

You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle

Your tolerance for Big Misunderstandings peppered with a million small misunderstandings based on poor communication skills will determine whether you enjoy this or not. This book is about the ways in which couples often fail to talk to one another and allow resentment to build until there is nothing left but resentment, and that it is possible to still find their way back to each other. Plot: Naomi and Nicholas have been together for two years and their wedding is a few short months away. […]

A mix between the Unhoneymooners and the Hating Game, but not as good.

The fluffiest of fluffy romances. The description calls it somewhere between the Unhoneymooners and the Hating Game, and that’s bang on. Plot: Henley is a classic Type A workaholic. She has a full time job as a marketing manager for a cruise line where she pulls long hours and has a heavy part time course load in an MBA program, leaving time for nothing else. Graeme is a social media manager that works remotely in Michigan. They’re both up for the same promotion and are […]

“It’s as impossible as perfecting my jambalaya-cheesecake fusion dish!”

Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade

Fluff perfection. Plot: April is a geologist and fan fiction author for a popular TV show. In a quest to live more authentically, she shares a picture of a cosplay outfit she created for her favourite character on Twitter. Being a curvy lady, her image goes viral. One of the people who notices is one of the main actors on the show, who wades in to fight off the fat shaming bullies and as a show of support, as her out on a date. Also, […]
