I don't normally write reviews for books that I don't read to at least 15% but this book was especially frustrating because I had hyped it up so much in my mind that I was SURE it was going to be amazing, and then when I realized I wasn't liking it and hadn't even gotten to 5%, I was going to return it rather than leave a negative review but I was literally ONE DAY TOO LATE TO RETURN THE BOOK. I'm actually kind of surprised that more people aren't frustrated with BIG SWISS. It felt like it was trying to be purposely edgy, but it ended up being flat and wooden instead. Kind of like Sally Rooney meets Nick Hornby but without the charm of either. I looked at the negative reviews and they all seemed to be taking issue with the same things as me, so I am clearly not alone, just very much in the minority. We all know my book opinions are trash and that I am not to be trusted anyway, but I am just shocked at how much I did not like this.
Thanks to Ro for reading this with me-- or trying to. I'm sorry I'm such a bad buddy-reading friend. Make sure you check out her review, though!
