Big Swiss
by Jen Beagin
Strange and enthralling story with interesting details and original characters. The plot itself is fairly constrained and self-contained to one main storyline (the relationship between Greta and Big Swiss), but even when the pacing slowed down, the humorous moments and the unique characters kept me engaged. The therapy transcripts were captivating to read, in a voyeuristic way. I appreciated the nuanced discussion about trauma and accountability. I had a little bit of trouble with the end of the novel, as there isn't much closure to Greta's story.
