I agree with your thoughts on Talking at Night, Natalie! I enjoyed it but I do think the hype hyped it up too much for me. What I loved about Normal People and One Day were that the characters have a hard time getting together because of normal ‘growing as a human’ reasons. But Talking at Night definitely had way more trauma in it. Not that that doesn’t happen in real life, but I always find it harder to believe when characters are experiencing traumatic event after traumatic event.
Amazed at how many books you got read in March! I did well in January and February reading seven books each month, but March I guess I was in a slump and only read two.
I also loved Piglet this month! And I “really liked” Martyr as well. Your Louise Erdrich project has me wanting to join you.
