jo_22 's review for:

The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides
3.0
emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
Not super memorable and the writing felt slow and pretentious at times. But I enjoyed the complexity / messiness of the characters and I liked the setting of NE college campus in the 80s. Super slow moving. I thought it would be more reflective on the marriage plots of literature & the main character’s thesis based on the synopsis, which was disappointing it wasn’t.
