Miss Benson's Beetle by Rachel Joyce
4.0

This was just a really well done book. Like everything about it was so good and I have basically no criticisms. Rachel Joyce is a fantastic writer.

The only thing I kind of struggled with was some of the second hand embarrassment type stuff, just because I'm super sensitive to that. I hate when people don't realize their the butt of the joke and play into it kind of.

But it was really great. I devoured this in basically two sittings and had such a good time. The characters were great, the writing was wonderful, and I really loved following Marjorie and Enid on their relationship. It was wonderful.

It reminded me a lot of Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, so if you enjoyed that, I would highly recommend this book.
