A review by bybyberry
Autumn by Ali Smith
2.5
It's always difficult when a book turns out to be good but simply not at all what you thought it'd be.
I was ready for a very atmospheric book filled with orange leaves and autumnal vibes. Instead I got.... Something else that's strange to describe.
I like the writing, the brexit references, the unlikely friendship, the talks about stories and art and imagination. But I couldn't really relate to the characters? I didn't feel emotionally connected to the story at all. It was just... Okay to read?
This isn't a bad book by any means, but maybe not the one I wanted or needed right now!
I'm still curious about the other books from this series, now that I know a bit more what to expect I think I might enjoy them more.
