Spinster: Making a Life of One's Own by Kate Bolick
5.0
Did this book take me almost a month to finish?
Yes.
Was it worth it?
A thousand times, yes.
Kate Bolick knows how to write a STORY. I was especially interested in this book because I like to expose myself to different perspectives and the perspective of a single woman is one that is not often portrayed in media well or at all! Bolick takes us through her life and the lives of her five “muses”. The stories weave together with grace and fluidity. I loved most parts of this book. But I will say towards page 150-170 it was really hard for me to stay into. I probably spent a whole week just for that portion of the book. I like the narrative but I did find myself skimming over some parts to see what Kate herself would say in response. But overall like a 4.9/5 stars.
I will definitely read again in a couple of years.
