Golden Child
by Claire Adam
Thanks to Crown Publishing for this free book! I did not like this one. At all. I’m struggling to find a constructive angle to share, honestly! It didn’t seem well written to me, it was slow (which i get that novels more about place can be, but it didn’t do that well in my opinion), I couldn’t relate to or understand or empathize with the characters (twin brothers are compared against each other as the center of the story— one as a genius and one as “retarded”— but none of the family dynamics felt authentic or believable to me), there seemed to be a lot that was left vague which didn’t help me connect with the story or characters... and the ending was AWFUL and made me so angry and sad. I’m a little baffled by the hype around this one and SJP’s choice to publish this on her imprint. Wouldn’t recommend it at all, but would love to hear if anyone felt differently about it! At least the cover is stunning?
