Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl by Andrea Lawlor
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
i did really like the concept, and there were parts where i was engaged, plus it was a very interesting commentary on queerness especially outward expression of queerness. the gender fluidity of paul was so interesting, although i wish the feelings we discussed more (there did seem to be a lack of emotion in all the characters).
it just didn’t keep me very engaged and the first 100 pages and the last 100 pages felt like they dragged and i was just trying to push through which i’m super upset about as i did like it. i’m not sure if it was the writing style or the lack of a consistent plot (which i personally need in a book) but there was just something that made it hard for me to get through.
