My Last Innocent Year by Daisy Alpert Florin
3.0

i’ve been trying to write this review for the past 30 minutes, but i literally have nothing to say about this book, and i think that speaks volumes lmao

when you have a story dealing with such sensitive topics, the last thing the reader should be feeling is indifferent. i think the narrator felt so detached the entire time, that i found it very difficult to be emotionally invested?

the discussions didn’t feel developed enough, for me. there was also a few random sections in here that really threw me off, for instance the mystery side-plot felt out of place, and the small comments about israel?
