Yes! Agreed! I don’t understand all the praise for this book.

Assumed it to be crime novel fluff for my train ride but instead got character studies. Enjoyed the development. Was reminded of effects of generational trauma, lack of empathy, and not growing up with communication as the norm. Glad my pal found it for her trip and i copycatted.

Cover of Denison Avenue by Christina Wong featuring a black and white drawing of Denison Avenue in one of Toronto, Ontario, Canada’s Chinatowns.

February. Third read of 2025. It took me a long time to finish this illustrated novel because it was such an emotional experience for me personally as a second generation immigrant. Read this if you love Toronto and the people who make Toronto, Toronto.

Cover of All Fours by Miranda July featuring a painting of the bottom of a gorge with either sunrise or sunset in the distance.

January still. Finished my second read of 2025. Frank and unabashed but to me it was all foreplay and no connection. I was looking forward to a book where perimenopause was in the foreground but my honest reaction when I finished was: meh.

Cover of Consent by Jill Ciment featuring a femme face with eyes closed and turning towards a soft light.

January. First book of 2025. Really fast read that gave me lots to think about long after I was done.
