My Name Is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout
2.0
This book was fine, but it won't stick with me.
I did like the way the book talked about loneliness. I liked this line, surrounding a conversation Lucy has with Jeremy, where she states, "Lonely was the first flavor I had tasted in my life, and it was always there, hidden inside the crevices of my mouth, reminding me." And later in the book, she calls hotel rooms lonely, which I thought was true and something I had never really thought.
