When the Cover Surpasses the Content

Anatomy: A Love Story by Dana Schwartz

July 9, 2024 by esmemoria Leave a Comment

I’m normally a squeamish person when it comes to gore and all manner of medical procedures, but I jumped into Anatomy: A Love Story eagerly. I anticipated a nice mixture of blood and love, and superficially, my needs were met. Unfortunately, there were myriad problems with the story, including pacing and an inert love triangle.

In fact, the book mostly earns it! I was *thisclose* to giving Anatomy: A Love Story five stars, in fact, until the ending. YMMV on this ending, seriously.
