A review by populargirl
Vladimir by Julia May Jonas

medium-paced

3.0

In an attempt to offer a less popular interpretation to the Me Too phenomenon, Vladimir puts together the ideas of the Red Scare Podcast hosts and caters them in the voice of a late middle aged woman who is caught in the middle of such scandal. But the voice of the protagonist does not match the ideas that the author is trying to copy and some of the monologues feel awkward and lazy (the narrator loves to say how much she hates her students because they're social justice warriors... Okay 50 year old university teacher!). But as devoid of originality as this book was, I see a lot of potential in the writing style. It has a fanfic type of grip while also being meditative.
