skconaghan 's review for:

Miss Benson's Beetle by Rachel Joyce
4.0
adventurous emotional informative inspiring sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

An unexpected story that follows the journey of two initially unloveable characters, throwing them into an unlikely relationship that propels them to care for one another, even unto mutual admiration, and giving a chance to a love they might never have known if they’d never taken the leap of faith.

Oddly heartwarming, strangely touching, altogether not quite what I expected—yet thoroughly absorbing and delightful.

A beautiful surprise read.
