A review by jammasterjamie
The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving

4.0

Not my favourite of Irving's ouvre, but even his less than stellar books are among the best stories I've ever read. I always try to avoid spoilers in my reviews and I will continue to do so with this one, but I will say that if you have any negative triggers around wildly inappropriate sexual scenarios and / or the depiction of sexual violence that you might want to give this one a skip. I don't suffer from any of those triggers and even I had an awkward and cringey reaction to some of the things discussed in this novel, and it's definitely not a book I'm ever going to recommend to my sister because ew.
