We read Trust by Hernan Diaz for my IRL book club last month. It got mixed reviews from the club. I liked it overall! I thought the structure and style choices were really interesting, and I love any sort of unreliable narrator situation.
I did find this book a little difficult to get into… I never really found momentum until the last section (which was my fave). I think I expected more glitz and glam from the description, and could have done with fewer details about Wall Street. But overall I think the creativity of the structure of this one made it worth the read for me, and I really loved how the last section brought the previous sections together. I’m not going to say too much more because this is one where you definitely want to avoid spoilers!
Have you read this one? If so, slide into my DMs because there are still some things I’m unclear about that I’d love to discuss! Also I had to feature my matching Stanley Quencher… it took me awhile to track one down but I must say, I am really quite hydrated after getting it.
