Disappointed by Good Dirt (slight spoiler)

I wanted to love this book since I thought the author’s previous book, Black Cake, was great. But I’m struggling to engage with Ebby due to the story jumping around so much, although I did feel sorry for her because of the tragedy and hurt she’d suffered.

Somehow the storytelling felt remote to me, as if I was looking at a painting, instead of a play with living breathing people. Maybe it’s just me—I’m curious how others felt.

I haven’t finished the book yet so maybe it improves but at the moment, I’m wishing it wasn’t my book club’s selection because I’d like to put it down and read something else.
