leah_alexandra's review against another edition
3.5
Parts of the book were well done but overall it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. We almost didn’t get enough time with any character to the degree it felt hard to connect, and when we did get time, everyone was just portrayed almost grotesquely. I found Susan’s story personally unbearable, and also thought it was unnecessary to use stand in titles instead of the women’s names when we learn their names quite quickly. The polar explorer stuff was interesting and well written but it felt like a different book to me.Â
