A review by amy_park
Ordinary Human Failings by Megan Nolan

emotional reflective tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.5

Short book depicting the lives of ordinary people. This book was readable and gripping. Although there is not alot of plot (all of it is in the blurb), it was a real character study of one family and a journalist. With it being popular on booktube and longlisted for the Women's prize, I picked it up.
I did really enjoy this book, for the majority of this book I rated it 5 stars, however as we got more towards the end and explored the two male characters in the family I wasn't as interested, hence the not "perfect" rating. I will definetly pick up Megan's debut novel in the future and wish this book is shortlisted for the 2024 prize!
