The Miseducation of Evie Epworth by Matson Taylor

5.0

There aren't enough superlatives I can apply to this book without it sounding cliche or ridiculous, so I'll just say this: a wonderful coming of age novel set in the 1960s (one of the things that is, to me, the literary equivalent of catnip), which barrels in like an out of control MG in chapter 1 and doesn't stop; giggle-inducingly hilarious (courtesy of Evie's very distinctive voice) but with some poignant moments of pathos amongst all the humour, I can totally see why it's been compared to Adrian Mole, but I would also compare it to Nina Stibbe's Lizzie Vogel novels, especially sicne I believe the author has said that the plan is to revisit Evie in future books set in different decades. If so, I'm so excited to read more!
Also, a warning: this book will make you very, very hungry.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exhange for review.
