Chrysalis by Anna Metcalfe

3.0

Thank you to Netgalley and Random House for this advanced copy of Chrysalis in exchange for an honest review.

This novel is about a woman who starts going to the gym at a turning point in her life. It's told from three perspectives, a man she meets at the gym, her mother, and her coworker. Through these perspectives we gain knowledge about this mysterious woman from their points of view only.

The themes of working out, the relationships, and the general format of this story make it all very unique. It’s hard to put down as we’re gradually given the details of the main characters background.

Personally, I found the format extremely refreshing to read, I loved the writing style, the imperfect characters, and the vocabulary the author uses. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy the gym (simply, for that subject matter) and/or people who are looking for something different!
