I read Astonish Me for book club, too. And here’s what I thought of it: Meh.
Meh.
The other Maggie Shipstead book I read was also Meh. I am apparently not a huge fan of hers. I like her books okay but they don’t impress me all that much. I’ve read so many better authors and books. In my opinion, of course. My friend Lauren loves her.
So your mileage might vary. And if you’re into ballet, this is one for you.
I borrowed this from the library and ended up skimming it and not really finishing it. “Meh” is a good description. 🙂
