A review by jaclynday
The Clasp by Sloane Crosley

2.0

I should have known this book would be insufferable when I saw it reviewed in every glossy magazine I picked up, and even then—even then!—I still read it. It’s ploddingly, horrifically slow, with characters that seem straight out of Instagram imaginings. All the humor and life is methodically sucked out of the story as Crosley continually strives to slam literary weight into a book that ultimately has nothing much to say.
