A review by amberlx
Love & Virtue by Diana Reid

3.0

I am conflicted - I really enjoy Reid's prose and the way she writes is super engaging - albeit she does repeat the word 'edified' many many times but at least I've learned a new word? It was interesting to be able to read about a college experience that was similar to how I have found my first year - especially the discussion around the shallow 'scripts' we follow to establish connections with people ie. 'how'd you pull up after last night'... 'bit dusty'..'yeah same.' I was confused at the author's attitude towards the SA situation discussed, and I found the discussion around the professor/student relationship power dynamic lacking. Happy I read it, probably wouldn't read again.
