Better Luck Next Time by Julia Claiborne Johnson
2.5
hopeful lighthearted medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Eh. This is fine. The narrative voice was probably the most interesting part of it but it mostly just.... Ok, I don't know how else to say this but it is just so... Straight. I found the characters dull I found the plot too slow, I thought it would have worked better as a short story or a novella. I wanted to find these wealthy white women sympathetic and sometimes I did but mostly I just rolled my eyes aggressively at them.
