Ugh. This book.
I look at the cover expecting a tantalizing who-dun-it a la the book version of Big Little Lies ir White Lotus.
I expect a well fleshed out and interesting story from the perspective of a hotel maid.
I expect witty humor and deep characters.
Instead, we get:
– A stereotypical protagonist who is coded as on the spectrum but has no nuance; it feels like the author googled spectrum behavior and then just dumped that into creating Molly the maid (which, really?). There is no complexity to her behavior
– An absolutely awful plot that made little to no sense. The characters’ motivations were silly and trite. The pacing was too slow and too fast at the same time.
– Boring prose with no effort at interesting sentence structure, imagery, etc.
– A boring ending
Thoughts?
