Unless I turn it over and it has no blurb… then I’m putting it straight back down again!

🫵 You picked them, I read them!
Flesh by David Szalay in May - my least favourite of the choices so far. It was very slow, the mc was incredibly dull and not a whole lot of poignance happened. There were brief moments of intrigue but generally not a fun book to read!
