Barbie and Ruth: The Story of the World's Most Famous Doll and the Woman Who Created Her
DID NOT FINISH: 49%
the writing in this is sooooo poor
main character is annoying. even though i wanted to figure out what was going on i couldn't bring myself to care. i read reviews during this (to see if it was wroth continuing) and someone mentioned that there's giant plot holes at the end of the book so... i just don't care to finish this anymore
oh my god this book fucking sucks. these characters are trite and obnoxious. the writing style is that of a 5th grader really obsessed with glee and riverdale. this is so bad.
not entirely into the plot of this one. i can't put my finger on it but i don't really like the writing style; despite how detailed and lovely some of the paragraphs are. the main character is a little boring and aloof, not worth reading about. at least not right now. not for me.
i'm also not really into "everyone purposefully doesn't say something because the main character isn't supposed to know yet." trope as a means of storytelling (outside of crime and mystery books). that whole element pulled me out the immersion immediately

oddly enough, this book got boring by chapter 5 despite how interesting the premise is. i enjoyed the symbolism between food, sex, and religion but found the descriptions of these really redundant and low stakes
I found out the author is a Zionist about 20% of the way through so I'm not continuing. It was a bit boring anyway and my expectations went from being really high to crashing and burning instantly
