A review by crystenaq
Primates of Park Avenue by Wednesday Martin

2.0

I got over 50% with this book before I just couldn't do it anymore. I listened to it on audio and the narrator did a fine job, no complaints there. When this first started, this memoir was entertaining in that it felt like you were being let in on a world you had no access to. I empathized with the author on the "otherness" she felt while trying to be accepted in this 'group'. As she began to change and conform to this new ...society, I empathized less and less with each passing chapter. It felt more like a repeat of high school mean- girl dynamics and frankly, I'm too old for it.

When faced with similar real life situations, I often ask the question of myself and my friends, why are you fighting so hard to belong to a group that is like...that. In this case mean, shallow, miserable, and condescending...

I lost the desire to continue with the story, regardless of whatever epiphany the author comes to.

Next!
