Ripe by Sarah Rose Etter
2.0
dark reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Just not for me personally, I felt like all the praise I’ve heard about this is focused around topics that this book doesn’t even go into the depths that I needed it to. 

I did not care enough about the main character to be intrigued by her or the things happening in her life. 

And of course life under capitalism is miserable but I did not need a book to just remind me of that without adding any interesting characters, ideas, or, storylines for me to be invested in.
