A review by wanderingjedi
Clever Girl by Tessa Hadley

2.0

I wish I could give half stars because I would love to give this book 2 and a half. It was interesting, but I had a lot of trouble getting into it. I enjoyed the story, but it wasn't the sort of book that I really wanted to just read straight through. The writing was good, and the characters were believable and even fairly easy to relate to, but in the end I just didn't care enough about Stella to really feel pulled into the narrative. I might try re-reading it someday to see if maybe my taste in books evolves over time, but for now I'll just have to settle for giving it a solid "liked it, but didn't love it" rating.
