Sara Flannery Murphy: Girl One (Hardcover, 2021, MCD) 3 stars

Review of 'Girl One' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I enjoyed Murphy’s The Wonder State, so I wanted to explore her backlist. Now I’m thinking I might need to focus on her new stuff because this was a mixed bag, and The Possessions has a pretty low rating for Goodreads!

There’s a compelling story here, and the ending feels like something is actually happening, but so much of the book is 1) talk to someone 2) learn something 3) travel to talk to another person. Over and over again which is not a great way to experience a story.
