A review by kristinana
Three Junes by Julia Glass
DNF, but I need this for my book challenge, so I'm marking it as read. It was ok; I liked the first section at first because the writing was lovely, but then I got unreasonably upset by the dog breeding (I just felt like it painted such an ugly picture of Maureen that I never got over), and then I was really annoyed that Fenno got an inheritance and opened a bookstore. It's just not fair; that should happen to me!
Ultimately, there was a lot to like, but it was uneven and there was just so little narrative drive that I got kind of bored. It's also sometimes hard for me to read about the problems of rich people who don't seem aware of or grateful for being rich, even if their problems are real. If you want to convince me to read the rest, please let me know. Otherwise, I do feel like I get the gist even to claim I read the whole thing...
